But I suppose I would need to recompile vim due to changes in the gentoo
system (e.g., after upgrading gcc/glibc)?

In version 6.4, ${logdir} appears with the same colour as the rest of
the surrounding quoted string. I think this is normal. It would be
better to make it the same colour as other variables, like $!, but the
developer probably didn't think about it.

It appears there is a bug in the syntax file (see reply by Peter Hodge).
This brings up the question: How to install a syntax file without
poluting the distribution system? In gentoo, the file is (for version
6.4):
/usr/share/vim/vim64/syntax/perl.vim
Replacing this is not a good idea, since it would be replaced next time
I updated vim in gentoo. So, is there a way to tell vim where to look
for [some] syntax files? (Something like /usr/local/share/...)?
And about the indenting problem? Could you check with your vim and the
above piece of code? If you place the cursor on line 796 and press 'o'
in normal mode, it should open a line with the cursor above the '$' of
"$heavy". What happened to me is that the cursor would be below the 'f'
of "for".
Thanks a lot.
