http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Disable_automatic_comment_insertion
Create ~/.vimrc and insert this line:
autocmd FileType * setlocal formatoptions-=c formatoptions-=r formatoptions-=o colorscheme ron
Colors: https://mamchenkov.net/wordpress/2004/05/10/vim-for-perl-developers/
'peachpuff' may be another good color scheme unless colors are too dim.
