note chargrill <p>I think I stumbled onto the solution, partly due to the teddy bear principle, partly due to the answers from [ikegami], [toma]. and [quester].</p> <p>I think I was reading the documentation for vim a little incorrectly. The docs state:</p> <blockquote> -T {terminal} Tells Vim the name of the terminal you are using. Only required when the automatic way doesn't work. Should be a terminal known to Vim (builtin) or defined in the termcap or terminfo file. </blockquote> <p>Late last night I tried passing that argument with a known good termtype (xterm) and lo and behold, it worked!</p> <p>To bring this 'round back to the perlish solution (and in case anyone in the future runs into this), this is accomplished with the following modification:</p> <c> my $vim = Text::VimColor->new( string => $perl, vim_options => [ qw( -RXZ -i NONE -u NONE -N -T xterm ) ], ); </c> <p>(Where <c>qw( -RXZ -i NONE -u NONE -N )</c> is the default for <c>vim_options</c>, as according to [cpan::Text::VimColor]). <p>And for the record, I'm using vim 7 - perhaps (inferring from [quester]'s reply) vim 7 handles the need for a terminal differently.</p> <!-- Node text goes above.
