Gah. Blech. Issue tracking is not one of github's strong points, but I

Before this thread (since I didn't follow up on it last time), I didn't
realize there was a repository for the Perl-related runtime files. The
files from there seem to have corrected the problem as I noticed it.
(steps to update below).
I also checked out the repo myself and added the rest of my patch that
wasn't already 'applied' ('applied' == 'independently rediscovered').
New repo at benizi/vim-perl
It would be nice if the petdance/vim-perl repo changes make it into the
release.

Best,

### check out the repository:
$ git clone http://github.com/petdance/vim-perl.git
### [... checked out into vim-perl/.git ...]
### make sure the required dirs exist:
$ mkdir -p ~/.vim/{syntax,indent,ftplugin}
### copy the files to the right places:
$ for l in syntax indent ftplugin ; do cp vim-perl/$l/perl.vim ~/.vim/$l/ ; done
