You must be using vim not vi, since vi doesn't have syntax highlighting. And you must have been using vim in modeless mode (evim).
I love vim, but vim in vi compatibility mode is horrible (only because I'm used to nocompatible mode)! Remember to "set nocompatible" in your .vimrc to make vim a little more user friendly.
Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab also do the same thing - IMHO more convenient to do than the Page Up/Down combo.
When a program says "shift;", I can't just look up "shift" in the perl manual somewhere, You mean, "perldoc -f shift"? wow that was hard! I have to already know about how @_ works in order to understand what the program is doing. That's just fairly basic Perl.
I myself prefer the newer, better FlashBlock Mozilla/Firefox plugin.
