<p>Greetings Monks</p>
<p>I gave my first presentation on a Perl subject the other night, a talk on how I use Vim as a Perl IDE. It was for the <a href="http://sf.pm.org">San Francisco Perl Mongers</a>. While I use both Vim and Emacs, I was lucky enough to have this opportunity to spend a few weeks researching how to customize Vim to make my Perl development more productive.</p>
<p>I discovered a plugin named <a href="http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=556">perl-support.vim</a>, and it has made writing code a lot more enjoyable. I can tidy up, critique (Perl::Critic), debug, profile, run as a command line program, and do a few other things using a few hot keys from my Vim buffer. I also implemented an <a href="http://vim.sourceforge.net/tips/tip.php?tip_id=102">auto-completion</a> feature, and a <a href="http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=273">taglist</a> plugin, as well as <a href="http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=90">cvs</a> and <a href="http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=922">subversion</a> capabilities.</p>
<p>My talking notes are <a href="https://www.redhotpenguin.com/svn/vim">here</a> along with my .vim directory. There's [id://373452] node which discusses using various editors for Perl, but I'm wondering specifically if you use any helpful plugins for Vim while developing Perl.</p>
<p>UPDATE: I didn't see [id://540167] node when I was writing this, there are lots of good links there to more resources.</p>
