in thread Other Perl extensions

On servers the file extension may be used to denote a certain type of file that is to be processed in a certain sort of way so restrictions may apply.

Actually, they're more about benefits than restrictions ...

.plx - PerlIS (ISAPI)
Installed with ActivePerl, and runs CGIs via (or is that in cahoots with?) a .dll instead of the perl.exe for improved speed.

.plex - PerlEx
Takes things one step further, providing mod_perl-like functionality on WinNT/2K web servers.

    --k.

    Perhaps I should have written ...so restrictions may apply if you want to take advantage of the awesome functionality and robust hacker proof nature of the M$ IIS?

    Just remember to apply all the service packs to fix those pesky issues ;-)
