Unfortunately, what qualifies as a cgi script depends completely
on the webserver executing the script on the backend. In Apache,
for example, everything in a ScriptAliases directory (like
cgi-bin) is automatically a cgi script. Any extension can be
declared a CGI script using the SetHandler and AddHandler
directives.

There aren't any. If you are researching this for your own box,
get to know your webserver's specifics; if you're doing research
on other sites, the best you can do is make assumptions. Most
things ending in \.cgi$ are cgi scripts, though not necessarily
Perl. Most things ending in \.plx?$ are going to be Perl
scripts. Though, of course, when you consider mod_perl, these
might not, strictly speaking, be CGI (look at slashdot, for
example; there is no CGI but every file ends in .pl).
Good luck!
