in reply to Is there a difference .pl and .cgi extensions?

these are just extentions, which can be configured on the web server itself. You could do a .hiImaFreak and as long as its defined as executable in the httpd configuration it will run.

    This is correct for all but IIS-based servers. IIS uses the system file associations. I don't know what the Windows-based non-IIS servers do.

      Most of them, save Apache, use the system file extensions as well. Apache uses its own configurations, but then, Apache on NT is much the worse for it.

      However, that doesn't change the issue much. You can still define any extension as executable in IIS. Just create the File Type registry key either manually or through the View>Options>File Types menu in Windows Explorer.
