write the following line in your dotEmacs file, and use f5 to toggle the hl-line-mode

(global-set-key [f5] 'hl-line-mode)

There is often information and documentation in the Commentary section in the source file.

[...]
;; You could make variable `global-hl-line-mode' buffer-local and set
;; it to nil to avoid highlighting specific buffers, when the global
;; mode is used.
[...]

Thus, you can put something like this in your .emacs.

(global-hl-line-mode)
(make-variable-buffer-local 'global-hl-line-mode)
(add-hook 'some-mode-hook (lambda () (setq global-hl-line-mode nil)))
...

use hl-line-mode insted of global-hl-line-mode.

EDIT: You're right. This doesn't work.

The commentary says that the global-mode isn't meant to be used. I take it to mean that you can't selectively disable it once enabled.

I enable the hl-line-mode in major-mode hooks where I need it.
