[ILUG] Question for Vim gurus

Hi all,

I'm using Vim on Win32 for some Perl development. So far its been really good, but what I'd like to be able to do is to place the cursor on a line containing a subprocedure, hit a key, and Vim to generate an automatically formatted comment block, e.g. for 

sub foo()

Vim generates

# Name : foo
# Author : blah
# Last Modified: whenever

Whenever I hit a certain key. I'm not really sure how to do this though, do I need to write a function in my .vimrc, and use commands like expand() to extract the current line/word? Or could I use a one-line macro using exe and a regexp to extract the relevant part of the line? Any help here, and/or any pointers to where I can find more on this kind of stuff would be much appreciated

Cheers

Rory
