From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031030 Description of problem: Attempts to execute perl commands in vim-enhanced silently fail and do nothing. i.e.: :.perldo tr/a-z/A-Z/; :.perldo s/foo/bar/; I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the package, which often fixed this problem in previous versions, but when it failed then it would say that the perl (or perldo) command wasn't recognized. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vim-enhanced-6.2.121-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.see above 2. 3. Additional info:
Same behavior in gvim.
Ffrom the upstream vim changelog: Patch 6.1.438 Problem: When Perl has thread support Vim cannot use the Perl interface. Solution: Add a configure check and disable Perl when it will not work. However, I've built a version with perl interface in Fedora Core/development. Can you please download it and test it, as I've never used this interface before (:.perldo tr/a-z/A-Z/; works). Please reopen this bugreport if there any problems with the perl interface. The fixed version is 6.2.154-3
Freshened the new RPMs from RawHide and still have the same problem. Do I need the perl from RawHide as well?
Check that, I can't seem to find the -3 RPMs. I found and installed -2 RPMs from here: ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS which of course don't have the problem fixed. Would you please send me a URL for finding the -3 RPMs?
I've copied the packages to http://people.redhat.com/karsten/ for you.
