Re: How do I create a simple, perl-based text filter for Vim

I think that is because a perl script is no binary-executable, maybe the same reason why you can´t say #!/some/script.pl in a shebang-line. (I read a node that addresses this (by merlyn) somewhere but i cannot find it.)

If that is really the case i would !perl script.pl or create a c-wrapper that calls the script.

Update:
martinvi is a big vi(m)? expert. He doesn´t post very often, but if you /msg him and point to this thread i am sure he can help.

I've tried, based on your suggestion, :%!perl script.pl and it works fine with vim6.3 on WindowsXP. Calling it without involving the perl.exe doesn't work.	[reply]
