vim code completion

I found this script:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1179
and it looks promising... close to the functionality I've been looking for in vim for a long time....

the problem is, it won't work on windows... and it's something perl based (function references or something... I dunno, I hate perl)

the entire script will run, but when attempting to do the completions (ctrl+j) it can't find the "next_match" function to complete it...

any perl gurus out there who wants to try to take this on?

additionally, anyone willing to convert it to something that's more.... *not* perl? I was going to do it... but I don't know the other interpreted languages that can be compiled into vim well enough (python/ruby)... maybe I'll take on the task of making it pythonic... hmm

Vim has inbuilt completion doesnt it? just ctrl-n and ctrl-p to complete it.

or does it require a script to work? I've got a python one installed, so maybe thats why....

no, it has built in completion, but it's just alphabetic... when using an OO language most would like the completion to work within the context of the object you're using...

Due to lack of time I didn't look at the script you mentioned, but have you ever tried Vim Intellisense? It offers code completion for, amongst others, C++, Java, XML and HTML.

it's windows only - and requires gvim... I tend to use vim (console) alot more

Ah..didn't know that - I'm a dedicated Emacs user myself... (no flame intended )

Why don't you just ssh to a Linux box and run vim on there? That's what happens to me when I'm forced to work on a Windows pc, somehow the screen clutters up with terminals. :-/

if you're doing python, that one works a treat.
