in reply to Is there a difference .pl and .cgi extensions?
Additionally, when used as part of a URL, they give away the implementation language to random users out on the net--a major security hole.
So if your webserver or O/S needs an "extension" to determine that it's a CGI script or a Perl script, please don't use it for anything other than a toy. Real web servers don't need or use those.
