Add Custom Header to scripts using vim

1. Create a template header: cat ~/.vim_header.pl

:insert

#

# $Id: $

#

# Copyright (c) 2011 Parag Kalra

# All rights reserved.

#

## @script

##

## @summary

##

## @description

##

## @usage

##

## @synopsis

##

## @param

##

## @keywords

##

## @status review

##

## @author

##

## @creation-date

##

## @last-modified

##

## @burts

##

## see-also

.

:insert should be present on first line and . should be present on last line

2. Add following lines to ~/.vimrc

autocmd bufnewfile *.pl so ~/.vim_header.pl

autocmd bufnewfile *.pl exe "1," . 30 . "g/@script.*/s//@script " .expand("%")

autocmd bufnewfile *.pl exe "1," . 30 . "g/@creation-date/s//@creation-date " .strftime("%d-%m-%Y")

autocmd Bufwritepre,filewritepre *.pl execute "normal ma"

autocmd Bufwritepre,filewritepre *.pl exe "1," . 30 . "g/last-modified/s/last-modified .*/last-modified " .strftime("%c")

autocmd bufwritepost,filewritepost *.pl execute "normal `a"

3. Now create a new file having .pl extension and see the magic.
