Perl-mauke is a Vim plugin that enhances the syntax highlighting of Perl.
The Vim interface is command based and expressed through its command line mode, allowing users to navigate through commands and features using a built-in help facility. Vim features a built-in tutorial and users' manual that details both basic and advanced features, helping users to learn the software quickly. While learning Vim may be slow initially, mastering the basics will result in quicker progress.
To use perl-mauke, users need to copy perl.vim into ~/.vim/syntax/, and Vim will automatically find it before the standard perl syntax file that comes with Vim. New features included in the latest release of perl-mauke include the support for the latest perl version 5.10, new keywords, and regexp control operators. Moreover, perl-mauke includes full support for subroutine definitions, recognizes v-strings and statement labels, and quotes the LHS of "=>" keywords, even if it's a keyword.
Regarding bug fixes, the new perl-mauke release fixed number highlighting and escape sequence highlighting. Perl keywords "new" and "croak" are not highlighted anymore, and perl-mauke now supports special highlighting for pragmas such as "use warnings" for all pragmas coming with perl. There are also considerable improvements in quoting constructs, including arbitrary quoting delimiters and the nesting function.
Overall, perl-mauke is an excellent tool for software developers using Vim. The plugin enables developers to write and edit high-quality perl code, affording maximum efficiency and productivity.
