Dear Monks,

I am hoping some wisdom can be shed on this Vim plugin. I am currently having an issue where using the Syntax Check feature of the perl-support plugin always issues a "Syntax OK" even when the Perl syntax is incorrect.

Another obvious hint things aren't working as expected is when I initiate the syntax checking, the efm_perl.pl file pops up in a vim window to edit, and once I close it, the syntax check executes and then gives me the "Syntax OK" message. This was after I had to select which program to open the efm_perl.pl file with, canceling results in the same "Syntax OK" message.

I am using Gvim 7.3 on Windows 7 64-bit, fresh install and the perl-support plugin extracted into the vimfiles directory. I'm using the _vimrc file that was included in the plugin, called customization.vimrc which is located in the vimfiles/perl-support/rc directory.

I haven't had much luck tracking down a solution through the normal means, seems I'm the only one that has this issue ... so it must be something very simple I'm missing which is the most frustrating part.

Thanks for your time monks, I greatly appreciate it
