VIMDEBUG

VimDebug integrates the Perl debugger with Vim.

Requirements

• Unix/Ubuntu/OSX
• Vim with +signs, and +perl compiled in
• Perl 5.6.0+
• The Vim::Debug Perl module

Install instructions

Perl modules are easily installed using cpanm. If you don't have cpanm, this is the simplest way to get it:

curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl - --sudo App::cpanminus

To install Vim::Debug:

sudo cpanm Vim::Debug

For more help installing Perl modules, see the cpanm documentation
