you need -a switch ack -a -f --sort-files /path/to/dir otherwise you only get perl files (-a switch also ignored git/cvs... files/dirs)

Alternatively you can use findrule - command line wrapper to File::Find::Rule 

findrule /path/to/dir 
findrule /path/to/dir -file
findrule /path/to/dir -directory

$ findrule . -directory -name ( Mouse* )

MouseX-AttributeHelpers-0.04/blib/lib/MouseX
MouseX-AttributeHelpers-0.04/inc/Mouse

$ findrule MouseX-AttributeHelpers-0.04 -file -name ( *PL )

$ findrule . -file -name ( README ) -maxdepth 2
