From what I could figure, it seems as though the autocmnd things are based on the file extensions. Yet I know that vim recognises a perl file regardless of what its extension is. How do you tell vim to do the indenting based on the auto recognition? Mate! setting up your .vimrc is more complex than writing a whole c, perl, or java program yourself. I was hoping that some of the guru programmers on this list could post their vimrc files so I could get some ideas - particularly with reference to perl, java, and C/C++ programming. If anyone has their vimrc set up well for programming, please post some suggestions, as I am flailing here. Cheers. Mark.
