Corinna,

I'd love to see a perl-enabled vim, however the requirement for 
perl-5.8.0 will not work for me.  As you are aware, perl-5.8.0 is *not* 
working at all on WinME.  Thus, I cannot have my beloved vim require me 
to install a broken perl on my machine.  I'm trying to debug why 
perl-5.8.0 is broken, but still haven't discovered any conclusive evidence.

I don't know if Pierre uses vim, but if he does it is likely to bite him 
as well if this happens.

Is there no way to make this modular?  Or perhaps offer two types of vim 
installs (like emacs-nox & emacs)?

Cheers,
Nicholas
