Perl Information
All Windows servers use the new ActiveState Perl. This is a more robust interpreter than previous versions.
Only files with the .pl extensions will be run through the Perl interpreter on Windows servers. This is the default for Perl on Windows. Many times Perl scripts will have .cgi extensions. There really is a difference. If your file is truly a script and starts with "! usr/bin/perl" or something similar then you should be able to run it through the Perl interpreter. If it does not then it will not run as a Perl script.
