Re: LUI: Language Usage Indicators page

None of my web Perl scripts end with pl and I have quite a few, neither does Google see other not-directly-available-to-the-browser-scripts.

You may need to re-title the statistics you gathered.

The "GoogleFileTypes" metric was initially created to get a return of code files. I quickly realized that it was returning dynamic content, and so it sort of morphed it into that. (Notice the .h/.c/cpp filetypes are not present.) I suspect that ".cgi" files are mostly Perl files, but obviously, there is no way to be sure. I'll try and update the metric's description to disclaim this more clearly. Thanks. Update: I went ahead and removed this metric. It seemed too problematic, upon further reflection.
