Re: Do you hide .pl extension on web pages?

Wouldn't using a mod_rewrite in apache be the way to go with this?

That said, I know you can use it to redirect foo to foo.php, but I'm not sure if you can use it to hide .php

... or maybe you can? Take a look at: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1992183/how-to-hide-the-html-extension-with-apache-mod-rewrite

map{$a=1-$_/10;map{$d=$a;$e=$b=$_/20-2;map{($d,$e)=(2*$d*$e+$a,$e**2
-$d**2+$b);$c=$d**2+$e**2>4?$d=8:_}1..50;print$c}0..59;print$/}0..20

If you do a rewrite of the URL (the `[R]` option), it will be shown to the client. If you proxy them (`[P]`), it won't. However, you could also use mod_negotiation's Multiviews so that when a URL comes in, it'll look for files with an extension if there isn't an extensionless version. The problem comes when you have both 'foo.php' and 'foo.pl' or 'foo.cgi', you might not have what you expected being served (without some extra effort to set the priorities)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
