vim-perl

This is the aggregation of all the various Perl-related syntax and helper files for Perl 5 and Perl 6.

Installation

You can install vim-perl using

• Pathogen and git submodules
• Vundle
• VAM

They were all tested and work: please read the related documentation on the related sites.

The legacy method is to install just do a "make install" and you'll get the .vim files all installed in your ~/.vim directory.

Getting Help

Any bug reports/feature requests/patches should be directed to the vim-perl group.

When reporting bugs in the highlighting of items, please include an example file as well as a screenshot demonstrating the problem.

FAQ

Can you add highlighting for Moose, Try::Tiny, Test::More, SQL in strings, etc?

We have syntax "extensions" under the contrib/ directory; you can find custom highlighting for these sorts of things there.

Curly braces inside of regexes/strings are considered when I use %

(See also GH #86)

Vim itself only considers double quotes in this scenario; the matchit plugin, however, can deal with this scenario and vim-perl's files are set up to work with it should you choose to use it.
