What I meant to say was: Debian's default vimrc (in /etc/vim/vimrc,
AFAICS) is already set up very well for programming (including perl), at
least in Woody (You _are_ using Debian, aren't you?). All I have in my
~/.vimrc is:
version 6.0
set nocompatible
map ,g ,f,e
map ,f :files
map ,e :e#
set autoindent
set backspace=2
set hidden
set hlsearch
set report=0
set ruler
set shiftwidth=4
set smarttab
set softtabstop=4
set viminfo='50,
set visualbell
set textwidth=75
set nowrap
syntax on
