hi
I work mostly in vim, although I'm not a very advanced vim user. The
problem is I can't find a simple way to easily run a perl script and
capture its output.
I've tried different things but I'm still *very* unsatisfied with the
implementation of the following basic workflow:
1. Edit a perl script in the editor
2. Press one key (eg. F5) to save and run the script
3. Print the output to a window below the editor window
4. Possibility to easily switch to the output window and scroll
through the messages
5. Possibility to easily switch back to the editor window
Currently I work with a GNU screen/vim combo.

But there is always a lot of typing involved. For example to
accomplish step 2. in the workflow above:
- ESC, :w (to save the script in vim in term1)
- CTRL-Z, tab (to switch to term2)
- type "./myscript.pl" (to run the script in term2)
I think it's far from ideal... Can this easier be done with emacs? How
is your workflow?
thanks
