No.  Only on broken architectures that demand it (read: "windows").
On Unix, Perl programs have no extension, any more than "cat" has an
extension.  Why should the user care what the implementation language is?

If you name your Perl program "something.pl" on a Unix machine, I shall
continue to look at you quizzically until either you or I leave the room. :)

Rob>  Perl modules are in *.pm.

Yes, this is enforced by Perl.
