Subject: Wrong usage of "eval use"
The lines BEGIN { eval { use Term::ANSIColor } unless $is_windows; } have to be rewritten to use string-eval: BEGIN { eval q{ use Term::ANSIColor } unless $is_windows; } Otherwise the use is always executed. Regards, Slaven

I confirmed this bug, and the fix. The error returned is: Use of uninitialized value in eval "string" at /usr/local/bin/ack line 15.
