What's odd about this is, of course, that '.pl' was never an extension that
meant "perl script" -- it was always "perl library" in just the way that
".pm" is now used for perl modules. But windows couldn't function without a
canonical extension name and so that little detail has been lost in the
hoary mists of time....

William,
I find it useful to see the .pl extension.
It's a "windows" thing to set PathExt thus
echo $PATHEXT
I'm sure I had it working before

I like the Active state convention of '.plx', which I guess means 'perl
executable'. But now I'm totally off topic.

Works the same way as in every other shell...
Just make "perlscript" executable, and loose the .pl

Hi Ya Z Fans
In previous shells I've been able to call/execute perl scripts just by
typing say
>perlscript
without the hassle of typing the .pl
> perlscript.pl
Can I configure this in zsh?
