Perl-Support: Bundle installation

[dracorp]

Hello
I've got installed perl-support by Vundle in ~/.vim/bundle/perl-support.vim. I've added to the ~/.vim/bundle/perl-support.vim/plugin/perl-support.vim:

  " ==========  Linux/Unix  ======================================================
    "
    let g:Perl_PluginDir = expand("<sfile>:p:h:h")
    "
    if match( expand("<sfile>"), resolve( expand("$HOME") ) ) == 0
        " USER INSTALLATION ASSUMED
        if match( expand("<sfile>"), g:VIMFILESDIR.'bundle' ) == 0
      " BUNDLE INSTALLATION ASSUMED
      let g:Perl_Installation               = 'bundle'
      let s:Perl_LocalTemplateFile  = g:VIMFILESDIR.'/perl-support/templates/Templates'
      let s:Perl_ToolboxDir              += [ g:Perl_PluginDir.'/autoload/mmtoolbox/' ]
    else
      let g:Perl_Installation               = 'local'
      let s:Perl_LocalTemplateFile  = g:Perl_PluginDir.'/perl-support/templates/Templates'
      let s:Perl_ToolboxDir              += [ g:Perl_PluginDir.'/autoload/mmtoolbox/' ]
    endif
    else
        " SYSTEM WIDE INSTALLATION

and currently it works with my templates from ~/.vim/perl-support/templates.
Could you check it out and possibly put in the next release?

Hello,
I need to clarify a few things before I move on:

So you have the Perl-Plugin installed here:
~/.vim/bundle/perl-support.vim/plugin/perl-support.vim
Which means you also should have template here:
~/.vim/bundle/perl-support.vim/perl-support/templates/...
You however want to use templates outside the directory maintained by bundle in
~/.vim/perl-support/templates/...

Is this correct?

You can use the configuration variable g:Perl_LocalTemplateFile to achieve that.
Or you can use the new features of Perl-Support (not available on vim.org, but in the version on GitHub). Have a look here (section "Installation"):
https://github.com/WolfgangMehner/vim-plugins/blob/master/perl-support/README.md
If you want to configure the stock templates rather than using your completely own library, you can use the new configuration via g:Perl_CustomTemplateFile. This is also available through the template setup wizard (menu entry Perl -> Snippets -> template setup wizard or map \ntw inside a Perl buffer).

Does this help you?

To be completely honest, I hesitate to change the code in the proposed way, because it would mean additional effort to setup the plug-in, namely to copy the templates to an additional location. Or am I missing something?

Hello
I think it will be correct.

You however want to use templates outside the directory maintained by bundle in

Yes, because I've got redefined several templates and I don't want to overwrite them when upgrading.
But you can propose better location.

You can use the configuration variable g:Perl_LocalTemplateFile to achieve that.

I thought that a variable with s: is different from g: but I was wrong ( I have used in my script variables with the same name but different namespace, eg. l:param and g:param). This may will be enough? I will check it when I come back to home.

Hi
I think that the solution with the variable will be enough. And I will wait for the new features in coming release.
