Hi!

I'm doing most of my programming (and text editing in general) in Vim, and
that includes Perl programming. Most of the vim functionality I've been using
is programming language-neutral, and I've been blogging about various tips
I've discovered here:

And previously here:

I'm using the perl-support vim plug-in, which has some nice features, but can
also be annoying. For example, when I type "\@" in insert-mode, it insert a
weird "my @..." declaration. Turns out that after typing \ one has to wait a
little before being able to continue because the perl-support bounded that
key. I also did not get used to using the perl-support code generation
feature, and I noticed that in a way, it was not adapted for more serious
code. For example when generating a function it does:

sub func
{
        my ($param1, $param2) = @_;

Instead of:

sub mymethod
{
        my ($self, $args) = @_;

I created and released a few Vim scripts:

I no longer use the xmms play and enqueue. The perl-test-manage.vim is now
mostly implemented using Test::Count (and thus I need to release a new version
of it.). range-search.vim is still relevant and I'm still using it.

God gave us two eyes and ten fingers so we will type five times as much as we
