in reply to Perl Script to write a perl script

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__ =pod =head1 NAME =head1 DESCRIPTION =head1 OPTIONS =head1 USAGE =head2 Usage Examples =head1 AUTHOR Leo Charre leocharre at cpan dot org =head1 SEE ALSO =head1 LICENSE This package is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify i +t under the same terms as Perl itself, i.e., under the terms of the " +Artistic License" or the "GNU General Public License". =head1 DISCLAIMER This package is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WI +THOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABIL +ITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

In your ~/.vimrc

autocmd bufnewfile *.pl so ~/.vimnewfile.pl.tmpl

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
