I have some extensions. This is straight out of my .gvimrc, so it has the menu extensions. beware. :46amenu Perl.Set\ Perl\ Make :set makeprg=perl\ -c\ % :!perl -c %rl.Build\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ <F5> :w :!perl -d %rl.Debug :w :46amenu Perl.Run\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ <F6> :w^M:!perl % The % refers to the current filename. Incidently, when Tim Vroom, the maintainer of this here site, and I worked together, we had a full integrated BackOrifice messaging system. I ran linux, and because he is a tool of the man, he ran windows. Gvim is the greatest thing since sliced bread.	[reply]

Would you be so kind as to explain what the above code does, other than adding the Perl menu to the menubar? thanks	[reply]

That was not by choice... clearly I have risen above those days. Besides you had seniority... and we could only have one linux box to test the cross-platform capabilities of our system. If I'm such a tool how did I start out making more than you were thanks to my smooth finagling? Must at least have been a better paid "tool of the man". In the future when you link could you make sure they point to actual nodes... otherwise I might just have to delete your less than helpful comments in the future. Look at Perl Monk Procedures if you want to learn how to do things correctly for a change. vroom \| Tim Vroom \| vroom@cs.hope.edu	[reply]
