#Go to def for Perl I wrote this plugin for myself and then I wanted to share it with other Perl developers.
The purpose of the plugin is to make it easy to jump to libraries, functions and variable definitions in a Perl program.

Suppose you have this program:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

my $hash = {
 name => 'Zapp Brannigan',
 age  => 43,
};

$Data::Dumper::Terse = 1;

print Data::Dumper->Dump([$hash], ['data']);

Using this plugin, if you go to the line that says use Data::Dumper; and puts the cursor over Data::Dumper and press Ctrl+M, a new tab with the source code of Data::Dumper will be opened so you can check the code.

If you go to the line that says $Data::Dumper::Terse = 1;, you can put the cursor over Data::Dumper::Terse, press Ctrl+M and the plugin will open Data::Dumper source code and it will jump where Terse is defined and the same will happen in the case you press Ctrl+M with the cursor over Data::Dumper->Dump; a new tab with the Data::Dumper source code will be opened and it will jump to the Dump function definition.

This script needs perl-doc package to be installed. sudo apt-get install perl-doc in Debian based distros.

Last but not least, this script and the mapping has lazy load and only for Perl programs, so it shouldn't affect Vim's performance.
