I'm a bit confused about how to go about putting plugins into vims
path.
After reading most of :h plugin. It just says to put a plugin in ~.vim
But on the two plugin tools I've downloaded to add:
xpt and perl-support
its not clear what is supposed to happen. The READMEs just say to
unpack in ~/vim. But the file structures inside the plugin pkg seem a
bit wrong for that.
doing cd ~/.vim
tar xzvf /usr/local/src/tar/xpt-0.3.9.4.tgz
unzip /usr/local/src/tar/perl-support.zip
Leaves this:
ls -1F ~/.vim
README.perlsupport
autoload/
doc/
ftplugin/
perl-support/
plugin/
xpt/
But then under xpt/ we have: And under perl-support:
ls -1F xpt ls -1F perl-support
doc/ codesnippets/
ftdetect/ doc/
ftplugin/ modules/
plugin/ rc/
syntax/ scripts/
templates/
wordlists/
The Xpt subdirs in particular seem to almost mimic .vim/ but the
doc directory for example would be at .vim/xpt/doc
Ditto for perl support.
Is this the way vim expects to find them? That is, vim, knows to
thoroughly recurse ~/.vim
I ask because when I do that with these two and then run
:helptags ~/.vim/doc
:h xpt shows that vim knows nothing about it
So I tried:
:helptags ~/.vim/xpt/doc
but still :h xpt shows nothing.
Finally I tried to mv the files under .vim/xpt/ to .vim/
Ran :helptags ~/.vim/doc again
Now vim blows up if I call :h xpt with nunmerouss warnings like:
Error detected while processing /home/reader/.vim/ftplugin/help/help.xpt.vim:

I've unpacked the two plugins at:
http://www.jtan.com/~reader/vim
And included the two source compressed files:
xpt-0.3.9.4.tgz and perl-support.zip at:
http://www.jtan.com/~reader/vim/src
Can anyone tell me how these plugin files should arranged?
