Just a note. In an open source project, it is usually a waste of time to try to convince someone to change the project for your benefit. Nothing gets things done like volunteering to put in the effort. I would therefore suggest a different approach, namely:

Hi;

I understand you don't have much use for Perl in vim but I do.  I woul
+d be very interested in helping to ensure that this is supported.  I 
+understand that Perl is not as widely used on Windows as on Linux.

Please let me know what I can do to make this happen.  Any chance ther
+e is some documentation available on how I can set things up to write
+ plugins in Perl?  If I get it working, would you be interested in di
+stributing it?

  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
