Richard> Perl scripts have had the extension *.pl No, some people put .pl on the end of their "scripts" because they are running on broken operating systems. In the large number of years that I've been writing "scripts" on UNIX, I do *not* put a "language" suffix on them, because the user of my script does not care (nor should even know) what interpreter manages my script. I mean, you don't type "cat.c" to invoke cat, right? You shouldn't care that it's written in C. So, I imagine, for Perl6, I'll be making the same strong recommendation that Perl6 scripts, just like Perl5 and Perl4 scripts before them, have *no* extension. -- Randal L.
