Description:
The package 'ack' from community does add a binary in /usr/bin/vendor_perl:

$ pacman -Ql ack
ack /usr/
ack /usr/bin/
ack /usr/bin/vendor_perl/
ack /usr/bin/vendor_perl/ack
ack /usr/share/
ack /usr/share/man/
ack /usr/share/man/man1/
ack /usr/share/man/man1/ack.1p.gz
ack /usr/share/perl5/
ack /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/
ack /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/App/
ack /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/App/Ack.pm
ack /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/App/Ack/
ack /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/App/Ack/Plugin.pm
ack /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/App/Ack/Plugin/
ack /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/App/Ack/Plugin/Basic.pm
ack /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/App/Ack/Repository.pm
ack /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/App/Ack/Resource.pm

But this binary is not in the default path (e.g. with an empty ~/.bashrc or the $PATH unchanged). I believe that this should be usable right after installing it (as with for example installing lynx).

Steps to reproduce:
1. Fresh archlinux install.
2. $ pacman -Syu
3. $ pacman -S ack
4. $ ack => bash: ack: command not found
This task depends upon
