+%description
+Perl Support implements a Perl-IDE for Vim/gVim. It is written to considerably
+speed up writing code in a consistent style.  This is done by inserting
+complete statements, comments, idioms, code snippets, templates, and POD
+documentation.  Reading perldoc is integrated.  Syntax checking, running a
+script, running perltidy,  running perlcritics, starting a debugger and a
+profiler can be done with a keystroke.
