vim invoke
 
Everytime I write a perl script I have to type "/usr/bin/perl -w" and "use strict".

Is there any way to automate this process so that everytime I invoke a perl script, say "vim test.pl" it will see the extension (pl) and will add those lines automatically at the top of the file/ script.

I'm sure there's a proper vim (or perl) way, but why not just create your template and define a bash function to do something simple like
Code:
vimpl () {
    cp path/to/perl.tpl $1
    vim $1
}
and add a number count to vim to make the cursor go past the templated portion so you can just start. Something simple like that. Otherwise, I guess look in all the vim docs for what to put in the .vimrc.
