description

A plugin that provides quick and easy access to perldoc. The perldoc text is displayed in a new window. This window is reused for resulting lookups if left open. When looking up a module filetype is set to perl so it is correctly highlighted, if syntax highlighting is turned on. Functions: The functions can accept an argument for the topic to lookup. If no argument is supplied they will prompt for the topic. PerlFAQ - Lookup a regular expression using perldoc -q. PerlHelp - Lookup a topic using perldoc. PerlFunc - Lookup a function using perldoc -f. PerlMod - Lookup a module using perldoc -m. PerlVar - Lookup a Perl builtin variable in the perlvar page. Key Mappings: <Leader>ph - Lookup the selected text in visual mode or the word under the cursor in normal mode using perldoc. <Leader>PH - Prompt for a topic to lookup using perldoc. <Leader>pf - Lookup the selected text in visual mode or the word under the cursor in normal mode using perldoc -f. <Leader>PF - Prompt for a function to lookup using perldoc -f. <Leader>pm - Lookup the selected text in visual mode or the word under the cursor in normal mode using perldoc -m. <Leader>PM - Prompt for a module to display using perldoc -m. <Leader>pq - Lookup the selected text in visual mode or the word under the cursor in normal mode using perldoc -q. <Leader>PQ - Prompt for a regular expression to lookup using perldoc -q. <Leader>pv - Lookup the selected text in visual mode or the word under the cursor in normal mode in the perlvar page. <Leader>PV - Prompt for a Perl builtin variable and look it up in the perlvar page. The <Leader> key is normally '\'. Thus to lookup the word under the cursor type '\ph'. Tip: Adding the following to your vimrc file will make POD documentation in Perl modules easier to read: let perl_include_pod=1 If you find any problems or have any suggestions please feel free to email me at LoranceStinson+perlhelp AT gmail DOT com.
