> :Robert See :h quickfix ;) Brief: :compiler perl :set makeprg=perl :make test.pl) If you want to add options to perl use set makeprg=perl\ --option\ blah (escape whitespaces) The quickfix cycle might remove some output.. depending on errorformat.
I was waiting for this question because :!perl foo doesn't do what you want :) See also :h compiler If you don't want to look at scrolling lines try my runinbackground script.. (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1582) I would also suggest to have some quick glances at :h topics basic editing, advanced editing... Much to read.. or hang around in #vim on irc.freenode.net. You can learn much there... You don't have to read everything but it should give you an idea of what is there .. ;) To took me over a year to learn many features of vim and then think about "how can I really fast open the files I need ... and so on" Just ask again we'll point to corresponding documentation.
