Re^2: new perl user

Just tested on ActivePerl 5.12 -- it does associate .pl extension to perl, but does not setup anything for .plx.

Simple. Don't use .plx - it's not conventional. Use .pl for scripts and .pm for modules. In the *nix world drop the .pl (no extension for scripts, but don't forget to use `#!/usr/bin/perl` as the first line), but carry on using .pm. True laziness is hard work	[reply] [d/l]

FWIW, IIRC, .PLX was also adopted as an IIS webserver convention	[reply]
