Comment (by mschout@…):

 Replying to [ticket:37595 raimue@…]:
 > The p5-app-ack port does not provide a perl module but an application.
 Currently there are several ports where each installs a different
 `ack-5.XY`. Subports work for modules targeting multiple versions of
 perl5, but this is not useful for an application.
 >
 > This port should be available as plain `ack`.

 It *is* available as plain ack.  You just need to set your path properly.
 If you prefer version 5.14 of perl for example, your path needs to have
 /opt/local/libexec/perl5.14 in it.  This is how macports handles bin
 scripts for multiple versions of perl.
