How to set vim as the default pager for perldoc?

Hi,

I use the following to set vim as the default paper for man, which
works fine.

export MANPAGER="col -b -x | vim -R -c 'set ft=man' -"

But when I do the same thing perldoc,


export PERLDOC_PAGER="col -b -x | vim -R -c 'set ft=man' -"

I got the following message. Does anybody know what is the correct way
to set vim as the default paper for perldoc?

~$ perldoc Data::Dumper
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.3 (2010 Aug 15, compiled Jul 26 2012 01:05:30)
Too many edit arguments: "/var/folders/ok/okxjw3HGEsyvIrMaKBkHhE+++TI/-
Tmp-/f9CAilKxGD"
More info with: "vim -h"

Thanks,
Peng
