You can execute a shell command in vim using:

:!command
[download]

Vim substitutes % in the command for the currently edited file, thus the following can be used to run the current script (assuming it's chmodded correctly and has a shebang):

:!./%
[download]

Via .vimrc you can create a shortcut for that.

... or to create a shortcut which saves first, then runs:

command R w | !./%
[download]

And another (hey, TIMTOWTDI):

nmap <F5> :w<cr>:!./%<cr>
[download]

(which maps the F5 key to do the duty.)
