I have now added a file open hook to my Patch Collection. You can use
the latest version with the macros provided to use Vim modelines. For
example, to set a Perl source file to Tab Spacing 8, Emulated Tab
Spacing 4, you'd need to add a line like this in the first or last 5
lines:
#   vim:et sw=4 ts=8

Let me know if you have any problem with
- applying the patch,
- adding the macros to your default set,
- the modelines.


The implementation of the hook is pretty crude, and I will work on it
in the next weeks. I don't expect any change in the user-side
interface though.

I regard my Patch Collection as a development version, so take more
than the usual care with your documents. Save regularly and make
frequent backups. (That said, I use my latest version it for all my
work, and it works at least good enough to make new versions.)
