All I have (I think!) is the following in my .vilerc :-

    ~if &seq $progname "xvile"
        perl "Vile::register 'dir', 'dir', 'Dir Browser', 'dir.pl'"

        perl "Vile::register 'startserv', 'Vileserv::start', \
            'Start Edit Server', 'Vileserv.pm'"
        perl "Vile::register 'stopserv', 'Vileserv::stop', \
            'Stop Edit Server', 'Vileserv.pm'"
        startserv

        store-procedure exitproc
            stopserv
        ~endm
        set-variable $exit-hook exitproc
        setv %vileserv-accept-commands true
    ~endif

I can certainly use vileget without problems, I've never tried with
the -w option. However vileget doesn't seem to have a 'perl use
Vileserv' in it so I'm not really sure how it gets started.
