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?
