Yes, I have a suggestion, stop doing this. Instead, use a vim template for new files...

~/.vimnewfile.pl.tmpl

:insert
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use vars qw($VERSION);
use LEOCHARRE::CLI2 ':all';
use LEOCHARRE::Dir ':all';
$VERSION = sprintf "%d.%02d", q$Revision: 1.3 $ =~ /(\d+)/g;


exit;

sub usage {
  qq{$0 [OPTION].. 

   -d       debug
   -h       help
   -v       version

}}

__END__

In your ~/.vimrc

autocmd bufnewfile *.pl so ~/.vimnewfile.pl.tmpl
[download]

Now, whenever you run a command like # vim file.pl , that template will show up. If you place APPNAME where you want it, you can can then do a search and replace such as :%s/APPNAME/blabla/g
