Corinna, In all honesty I have no idea what benefits adding perl support to vim would give me (I'm not a perl user). Like Igor, I'd have no objection to the addition of the perl support as long as it didn't require me to have to install perl. The fact I install pretty much everything when I install cugwin is besides the point. I liked the recent thread on placing a minimal cygwin install on a pendrive, and for me vim would be a requirement for such an installation, perl would not. Hope this helps, Steve. -- -- LONG DISCLAIMER -- ******************************************************* This email has originated from Perwill plc (Registration No. 1906964) Office registered at: 13A Market Square, Alton, Hampshire, GU34 1UR, UK Tel: +44 (0)1420 545000 Fax: +44 (0)1420 545001 www.perwill.com ******************************************************* Privileged, confidential and/or copyright information may be contained in this email, and is only for the use of the intended addressee.
