So I am using vim (vi) to edit on command line. Whenever I code in a file that ends in .php, .pl, .cgi, .pm, etc, it matches it up with what language it is and does the proper syntax highlighting. However, I am writing some perl scripts and I am requiring some separate files with the extension “.lib”. Is there a way that I could have vim interpret this as a .pl file? right now it just highlights everything in red and looks pretty bad.
:set filetype=pl, if you want this to happen all the time, addto your .vimrc
