With VIM one can easily invoke a script from within vim on entire text
(:%!perl my_scr.pl or :'a,'b!perl ...). In my site give many useful scripts
and how to use them.

You find this interesting: "Run a perl script from vim on a block of text,
to enumerate constants for a state machine..."

Not to start an emacs vs. vim war, but a properly set-up vhdl plug-in in 
vim will do this as well.

Try Emacs if you can. It has a very comfortable VHDL electric mode.

If you write -- at the beginning of a line and then press Enter, the 
next line will also be commented.

From Hamish Moffatt:

"Commenting lines. Visual select the block required and type ,c
vmap ,c :s/^/--/
vmap ,d :s/^--//

Here's the Verilog equivalent:

"Commenting lines. Visual select the block required and type ,c
vmap ,c :s/^/\/\//
vmap ,d :s/^\/\///

Hmmm.  These lines had an escape after the last character, but that
won't appear in this post.  You could probably substitute '<CR>'
(without the quotes) instead.
Add the lines to the appropriate file type plugin file.

Hi folks,

I'm getting tired of commenting large blocks of VHDL code by hand.

Anyone know of any Vim scripts that can comment/un-comment a VHDL
block?

A cursory Google search brings up either nothing or way too much stuff
to sift through depending on my search terms ("vhdl vim comment").
