I'm sure others here find themselves in this situation sometimes too. Where for whatever reason it is easier and faster to just use vim for some coding on certain machines. Especially when you find yourself on a wide variety of hosts. I use emacs exclusively for perl coding on my home machines and rely heavily on cperl mode. When shifting to vim, for whatever reason, and although I am fairly familiar with the basic functionality, I feel terribly crippled when coding. I've never taken or maybe had the time to dig anywhere near as much into vim as I have emacs... so don't really know where or even how to find some kind of plugin that would answer in vim for what `cperl-mode' does in emacs. Currently wrestling with a plugin family called `vim-plugins-master' but having a serious bit of trouble figuring out how to edit some of the templates to my liking. Or maybe how to employ something like emacs `skeletons' capabilities .. where I write a bunch of helper inserts. only for vim. Similar to how I've done with emacs. So, cutting to the chase: Can anyone here either help directly or guide me to well documented vim plugins for perl coding.
