I did :echo $PATH from within Vim and that's what it returned (the path had
c:\Perl\bin in it). I'm wondering what could be wrong? Do I need a specific
version? I have ActiveState Perl 5.8.

Any Vim with +syntax (i.e., any Normal, Big or Huge build) can edit Perl files and highlight them according to the syntax. To run Perl commands inside Vim you need both a Vim with +perl (usually +perl/dyn) and the exact same version of Perl as that shown near the bottom of the output of the ":version" (under "Compilation" or under "Linking"). For instance, Steve Hall's latest gvim for Windows can run Perl commands inside Vim, but only if the file perl58.dll is found in the PATH.


Best regards,
Tony.
