description

WARNING: if your vim links to (or dlopen()'s) a libperl earlier than 5.12, perl may end up lying to you about the line number by one (or maybe more, but one is what I've seen). This script eases development of vim scripts that use embedded perl code by automatically adding or updating line directives to perl code blocks.  So for example:      perl <<EOF will automagically become      perl <<EOF      # line 42 /some/file.vim when you save /some/file.vim.  You can use other valid here-document terminators, not just 'EOF'. Now your error messages that come from perl will have correct file names and line numbers. See also http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3411 if you want to automatically catch perl syntax errors when vim scripts are saved.
