Re^2: Perl omnicompletion available for Vim 7

[john_oshea]

If I had to guess, I'd say that you may not have the feature compiled into Vim. Though, obviously, if omnicompletion works for other languages, I'm talking nonsense ;-)

Here's the output from ':version' on the machine I'm in front of now if you want to compare with yours. Mine's had both Perl and Vim compiled from source and I'm pretty certain I 'turned everything up to 11' with Vim.

Actually, I've just had grep through my shell history, and these're the configure options I used:

./configure --with-features=huge --enable-perlinterp --enable-pythonin
+terp --enable-rubyinterp --enable-multibyte

Hope that helps
