Installation of Strawberry Perl 5.30.0.1 inspired this question. Users of Active Perl have reported problems with the <FileType>=<OpenCommandString> pairs created during the installation of Active Perl. For example, ftype perl at the command prompt returned perl=”C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe” “%1″. The named pair should have read perl=”C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe” “%1” %* if you wanted the invocation of file.perl arg1 arg2 … Read more

I don’t ever use sudo vim /path/to/some.file; I always use sudoedit. However, this means that vim doesn’t see the correct path. As an example, when I open /etc/http/conf/httpd.conf, sudoedit makes a copy of httpd.conf and then uses vim to open that.
