[X]  No, go away with that (*).

Corinna,

In all honesty I have no idea what benefits adding perl support to vim would
give me (I'm not a perl user).

Like Igor, I'd have no objection to the addition of the perl support as long
as it didn't require me to have to install perl.  The fact I install pretty
much everything when I install cugwin is besides the point.  I liked the
recent thread on placing a minimal cygwin install on a pendrive, and for me
vim would be a requirement for such an installation, perl would not.

Hope this helps,

Steve.
