Hi folks

Recently, the Perl syntax definition in vim (version 7.4) has
considered a word to be much bigger than it used to. For example, I
would expect

    abc::def::ghi

to be considered 5 words, so that when I press dw while sitting on a,
it should only remove abc. However vim now deletes the entire string
when the syntax is Perl, and it's driving my nuts!

I have no idea what is causing this. I've tried setting a few random
:set options but no luck, and nothing obvious showed up in the perl
syntax file. I can't even think what part of :help to start reading.

HELP!

Looks like the definition of the 'iskeyword' setting changed. Let's look
into perls filetype plugin ($VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/perl.vim):

,----
| " The following line changes a global variable but is necessary to make | " gf and similar commands work. The change to iskeyword was incorrect. | " Thanks to Andrew Pimlott for pointing out the problem. If this causes a
| " problem for you, add an after/ftplugin/perl.vim file that contains
| "       set isfname-=:
| set isfname+=:
| set iskeyword+=:
`----

So create a new file ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/perl.vim (create non-existing directories)
and insert

:set iskeyword-=:

That should make it work for you again.

Best,
Christian
