<p>I love <tt>ack</tt>, but I'd strongly recommend <tt>.ackrc</tt> support. For example, one project I work on has non-standard extensions for Perl files, so <tt>ack</tt> doesn't recognize them as being Perl. It would be nice to have an <tt>.ackrc</tt> so that I can provide those extra extensions to add on to <tt>ack</tt> file recognition or to specify default switches. Of course, this would require an extra switch to <tt>ack</tt> to ensure that the <tt>.ackrc</tt> is not read, if necessary.</p>
<p>It would be a nice feature for <tt>prove</tt>, also. The vast majority of time I just type <tt>prove -l t</tt>. For <tt>prove</tt>, you could ignore the <tt>.proverc</tt> if you have any arguments. For <tt>ack</tt>, you could ignore the <tt>.ackrc</tt> if you have more than one argument.</p>
