My editor of choice is also Vim, so I shall investigate perl-support.vim.

I wanted this because I kept writing little scripts to test Perl and CPAN dist features with the two lines at the top of this script. I thought automating this in Vim would mean hacking Vimscript, and I just thought "hang on, automating text files - why not use Perl?". I should have known that indomitable Vim would include templating support or have a plugin for it.

This script does exactly what I need for writing little scripts though, so I shall probably continue to use it - probably alongside perl-support.vim if it meets my needs.

After all, sometimes I do use ed instead of Vim :D
