Hello, Peng!

You could try manpageview
(http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#MANPAGEVIEW).

ex. :Man sprintf.pl

One may use the shell, too:

gvim -c "Man $*" -c "silent! only" sprintf.pl

You can wrap the shell command above into a function:


function man
{
gvim -c "Man $*" -c "silent! only"
}

then man sprintf.pl will bring up the manpage for Perl's sprintf()
function. When editing a Perl script, a "K" pressed in normal mode
while atop something that perldoc knows about will bring up the manpage
for it.
