Subject: RE: Calling Perl scripts without the .pl
Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2003 11:23:58 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <D3109718233BBC49B2CF251FDEAC1092AA7FC9@msgsw55mnmsp05.wellsfargo.com> (raw)
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
