I may not be understanding correctly, but I think you mean mapping a key(s)?? If that is the method which you are using you can add the same key sequence into your .vimrc file located in your home directory.
It is my understanding that any ":" command can be placed in that file to setup the initial environment for all subsequent instances of vim run. Check vim's man pages or online for an example .vimrc or if you need one I can provide mine though it is a little out of date. On a side note this seems to be an odd thing to map a sequence for, possibly you want to think about constructing a perl template and then whenever you start vim on a new file with the extension .pl (or whatever you establish) that line will already be provided, along with anything else you use in a script EACH instance (for example, a database connection, or "use CGI" just to name two).
