Hell Wise Monks!

The village idiot is back seeking your assistance. I am interested in using ctags as part of my perl development environment in vim. I have considered it from time to time over the years but have never invested the time and effort to see it through. My interest is stronger now than it has been in the past; however, my Google searches are returning some very dated responses with a few exceptions. So, I thought I would ask an open ended question here.

For those of you that use ctags for your perl development in vim or other editors, what do you recommend?

• What do you use to create your tag files - Exuberant ctags 5.8, Universal-ctags, some other perl script or module
• What entries do you recommend for ~/.ctags
• Do you use it to index your whole @INC? If so, how?

Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom
