[ILUG] Question for Vim gurus

[Rory Winston]

Hi all,

I'm using Vim on Win32 for some Perl development. So far its been really good, but what I'd like to be able to do is to place the cursor on a line containing a subprocedure, hit a key, and Vim to generate an automatically formatted comment block, e.g. for 

sub foo()

Vim generates

# Name : foo
# Author : blah
# Last Modified: whenever

Whenever I hit a certain key. I'm not really sure how to do this though, do I need to write a function in my .vimrc, and use commands like expand() to extract the current line/word? Or could I use a one-line macro using exe and a regexp to extract the relevant part of the line? Any help here, and/or any pointers to where I can find more on this kind of stuff would be much appreciated

Cheers

Rory
