Using VIM 6 with Perl

bikeNomad has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm a long time user of the VIM editor http://www.vim.org. The development version (version 6) has added folding, as well as the ability to specify transforms on include file names, etc. on a per-file-type basis.
These appear to be just what's needed to make VIM an even better Perl editor.
I was wondering if any of the Monks had a VIM setup for 6.0 that included settings for<bl>

isfname

iskeyword

include

includeexpr

other good things </bl> that they'd be willing to share...
I've looked at the vim.org site, and only found the syntax highlighting support. Thanks!

Well except for includeexpr, all of those options exist in 5.7 which is way more stable. You might find setups that have those options set that way. I would think a better resource would be comp.editors or one of the vim mailing lists for this question, but maybe someone will come up with what you want.	[reply]

Thanks, I'll try comp.editors. I wanted `includeexpr` because it will let me use, say, `gf` to go to a used or required file directly. In 5.7, there was no way to translate Perl's :: to / or to tack on the `.pm`. I came up with this ftplugin file which works pretty well so far. Updated: moved to snippets, added link. This should make it easier to find and maintain.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I just picked up a great book called "Vi IMproved - Vim". It may not cover anything in the dev version, but it has a lot of great information on how to customize vim. I recommend this book for anyone using this editor. Thanks, djw	[reply]
