[Vim] enable features


In vim some of the features are not enabled by default. Like, Perl, tk, ruby etc.

"vim --version" shows which features are not enabled by default. I was wondering how to enable these features.

TIA.

IF your compiling this from source use this flag when you configure it

Code:
--with-features=huge

Open vim on a blank page, and enter :help <enter> (note that's colon help). That will get you into the vim online user's and reference manuals. Just scroll down until you find the topic of interest. It has a section on enabling features.
