Hm. I admire your courage, and hope you do this for educational purposes only. You maybe want to register your effort with the Perl Power Tools project, they don't have the vi command in stock yet.

As a feedback on your program, on my machine (linux) it produces a lot of garbage like this (running inside an ssh terminal):

> perl vip.pl
--> v_screen::new
--> v_screen::init
                  --> v_window::new
                                   --> v_window::init
                                                     --> v_file::new
--> v_screen::execute
~                    --> v_window::command
~                                         --> v_file::command
~                                                            --> v_win
+dow::draw

~                                        --> v_file::topline
~                                                           --> v_wind

Maybe you can give more detailed instructions on how to build, run, test it, etc, for those interested.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
