Here is an example of gvim's syntax highlighting capabilities for the curious: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#####################################################
# Script:   mp3_average_year
# Author:   Jeff Anderson
# Date:     03/15/2001
# Comments: finds average year of my mp3 collection
#####################################################

use strict;
use File::Find;
use MP3::Info;

my ($sum,$count);
my $start = shift || '/mnt/lump/mp3';

find sub {
    if (/mp3$/) {
        my $tag  = get_mp3tag($_);
        my $year = $tag->{'YEAR'};
        next unless $year =~ /^\d+$/;
        next unless ($year > 1950 and $year < 2002);
        $sum += $year;
        $count++;
    }
}, $start;

print "$sum / $count = " . $sum / $count . "\n";

UPDATE:
Oh yeah, _PLEASE_ don't actually do what i just did and actually post gvim rendered HTML, as the resulting HTML increases in size tenfold. Guess that makes me a hypnotist.

i liked it better than cats, i will use gvim again and again ...
