Perl-Support: Can not find Perl executable

chazubell commented 9 years ago

When try to run "perl" from inside vim (or gvim) on Windows 7 the error message "(possibly default) Perl Interpreter 'c:\Perl\bin\perl.exe' not executable."

However the Perl executable is in "C:\Perl64\bin\perl.EXE", how do I force Vim-Perl to find it. A side note: the vim script perl.vim does find the proper library directories.

I know that this a newbie thing. My apologies if I have missed something int he documentation.

Also I am running Active State Perl: (v5.14.4)

Add this line to your $HOME_vimrc:

let g:Perl_Perl = 'C:\Perl64\bin\perl.EXE'

The configuration variable g:Perl_Perl is not documented, which will be fixed.

Thank you so much.

I'm going to leave this questions open until the new version with the extended documentation is uploaded.

Wolfgang:

Thank you again. I really try to avoid asking newbie questions. I was glad to see I was indeed not missing the forest for the trees.
