osx - How can i prevent my vim plugins being overridden by older ones? -

i have installed macvim via homebrew, , pathogen via downloading pathogen.vim file ~/.vim/autoload directory. have got cloned vim-perl plugin ~/.vim/bundle directory.

however, when open perl file, uses syntax highlighting perl.vim file included macvimand not downloaded plugin. output of :scriptnames. note macvim supplied plugins there , think perl ones listed lastly overwrite downloaded plugin:

here ~/.vimrc file

set shell=/bin/sh phone call pathogen#infect() filetype off syntax on filetype plugin indent on

if :so ~/.vim/bundle/vim-perl/syntax/perl.vim file syntax highlights correctly.

how can prevent macvim bundled ones overriding?

the inclusion guard (if exists("b:current_syntax")) should prevent default perl syntax script having effect (after custom 1 has been sourced).

as workaround, move own script ~/.vim/bundle/vim-perl/syntax/perl.vim ~/.vim/bundle/vim-perl/after/syntax/perl.vim, or alternatively create ~/.vim/after/syntax/perl.vim script with

so ~/.vim/bundle/vim-perl/syntax/perl.vim

in it.
