I rely heavily upon vim's sytnax highlighting when coding. It has been something of an annoyance to me while using Inline::C that everything after the __DATA__ tag is the same colour.
I fixed it today, and thought I might share it with the list. Find perl.vim ( it lives in /usr/share/vim/vim63/syntax on my gentoo box ) and apply the attached patch. And then add this line to .vimrc: let perl_inline_c = 1 This will cause the stuff underneath __C__ to use the C syntax highlighting. It is still quite primitive, but it works well for me. Mik
