[Thousand-oaks-pm] Perl Mongers is TOMORROW (the 11th)

Wed Nov 11 11:13:19 PST 2009

I know TO loves stealing ideas and speakers just before we present at 
LA.pm, so here's our next topic:

an interactive night of VIM+perl tips.  So bring your vimrcs and links 
to your favorite modules.  Perl stuff that makes VIM better, VIM stuff 
than makes editing perl better.  A lot of my stuff is circa VI, but it 
is still sweet.  We could run through that tonight before the LA.pm dec 
2 meeting.

I think I'm going to make TO tonight, we'll see when the time comes to 
jump in traffic.

Tips I'll bring:
* setting up vim to use quicklist / make functions on your perl.
* integrating perltidy
* my perltidyrc
* ctags integration
* keyword completion
* a couple of vim modules
* vimdiff and svn+vimdiff integration
* splitting windows
* zsh (the one true shell(tm)) integration.

Stuff I'd love to hear about:
* using embedded perl in vim.  perldo and friends.
* omnicompletion
* Favorite file browser
   * nerd tree [1]
* Your Favorite vim plugins
* Info about the Vim:: modules on CPAN.
   * ctag/vimtag generators:
     * Vim::Complete (0.03) [2] vs ctags for omni completion
     * Vim::Tag (0.02) [3] (same author as Vim::Complete, possible shell 
integration)
     * Perl::Tags (0.26) [4]
   * Vim::Snippet::Converter [5]+ snippetsEmu [6] (emulate TextMate 
snippets)
   * Pod::Simple::Vim [7] + PERLDOC2 [8] --> convert POD for viewing in 
vim, with syntax highlighting.?  used by perldoc2 plugin.
   * App::EditorTools [9] / App::EditorTools::VIM [10]/ 
PPIx::EditorTools::* to leverage some of the PADRE stuff in vim.
   * Devel::PerlySense[11] Devel::PerlySense::Editor::VIM[12] 
perly_sense[13] (not really supported, really aimed at emacs.  Can we 
fix this?)
   * VI::Quickfix [14] ( cute.  Add this to your module/app and the perl 
compile errors will get written to the vim quickfix file, like as if 
you'd run :make from inside vim)
   * Vroom::Vroom [15] -- beppu and tommy showed me this, it's awesome. 
"powerpoint in vim -- without all the sucky powerpoint stuff).
   * Vim::Snippet::Completion [16] (no docs, what does this do?)
* updated VIM perl syntax highlighting description, now maintained by 
petdance/andy lester. [17] [18] [19] [20]
* using ACK and using it from inside vim(Tommy, examples please)
* perlciritc integration via perlchecker.vim [21]
* iskeyword settings ( set iskeyword+=: , etc)

perl-support.vim [22]-- seriously, does anyone use this? I'm not sure I 
see how it would be helpful.  If you do, I'd love a visit from the 
clue-train.

Anyways, this got a little (lot) longer than I expected this morning.  I 
only got as far as searching VIM:: on cpan. Next up, mining the 
perlmonks -- the vim info there is old, and some of it is wrong (meaning 
of a couple flags were flipped between vim6 and vim7).  I'll expand on 
this in a blog post [23] at some point.
