NAME

Vim::Tag - Generate perl tags for vim

SYNOPSIS

    package Foo::Bar;

    use Vim::Tag 'make_tag';
    make_tag $tag, $filename, $line;

then:

    $ ptags --use ~/code/coderepos | ptags_sort >~/.ptags

.vimrc:

    set tags+=~/.ptags

then this works in vim:

    :ta Foo::Bar
    :ta my_subroutine

bash completion:

    alias vit='vi -t'
    _ptags()
    {
        COMPREPLY=( $(grep -h ^${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]} ~/.ptags | cut -f 1) )
        return 0
    }
    complete -F _ptags vit

then you can do:

    $ vit Foo::Bar
    $ vit Foo--Bar     # easier to complete on than double-colons
    $ vit my_subroutine

DESCRIPTION

Manage tags for perl code in vim, with ideas on integrating tags with the bash programmable completion project. See the synopsis.

EXPORTS

Nothing is exported automatically. The function can be exported using its name or the :all tag.

make_tag

Takes a tag name, a filename and a line number. If the global variable $::PTAGS is set, it prints a tag line that vim can understand. The ptags program will set $::PTAGS when going through the modules to give them a chance to generate their own tags.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

No bugs have been reported.

Please report any bugs or feature requests through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org.
