Annoyed that the Perl debugger thinks each entered line should be immediately evaluated? It's hard to paste in a multi-line sub definition that way. Add escape-newlines.vim into ~/.vimrc.

How it works:

1. visually-select multiple lines
2. Type "+\e. (If your mapleader is set to something else, use it instead of \).
3. The contents of your clipboard will now be the selected lines with \ appended to each.

• It won't affect your buffer.
• It supports yanking into arbitrary registers.
