If you're primarily a Perl hacker and don't use C much, you might find it annoying when you hit 'K' in command mode. That's because VIM runs something like this:
nmap K :Map
I've just added the following to my .vimrc:
noremap K :!perldocperldoc -f
Now when you type 'K' in command mode, it will call up the appropriate perldoc, if possible.
I really should have added that to Perl Hacks. Damn.
If filetype plugin is turned on this also works:
autocmd FileType perl
And then K should still work as it did before when working with non-perl sources

Nice point! I do have the filetype plugin enabled. Thanks
:)
autocmd FileType perl setlocal keywordprg=perldoc
If the perldoc -f || perldoc behaviour matters, the preferrable way to do it is to plug a shell script that works that way into keywordprg, which offers the bonus that you will have it available on the shell as well. If you really must, though, you can do it as a less than pretty one-liner:
autocmd FileType perl setlocal keywordprg=sh\ -c\ 'perldoc\ -f\ \$1\ \|\|\ perldoc\ \$1'\ --
As a start I added this one to the perl5 wiki on TPF

autocmd FileType perl setlocal iskeyword+=:Then vim will consider colons word characters for the purposes of cword.

Oh, I have something analogous to that embedded in my vim stuff. I stole that trick from Damian.
