I think what's left out is what exactly does this Perl support do?
If you dn't know it, you probably don't need it. ;-)
You do not know that! I use vim. I write Perl. Perhaps it would be
useful for me.
Actually I don't use it, too. Basically it adds sort of a perl
scripting capability to vim, including new perl functions to
manipulate the running vim by using VIM::foo functions. Just start vim
and type ":help perl".
Interesting, perhaps useful. Probaby not worth making the dependency.
Again, couldn't it be optional? IOW if Perl is present then the
functions work otherwise they do not?
