Is the Perl .plx filename extension ever used in real-life?
activestate, iis, perl, scripting
Solution
No, it's not just from ActiveState. O'Reilly's Learning Perl on Win32 systems recommends naming scripts with a `.plx` extension to disambiguate them from perl modules (with `.pm`) and non-executable perl libraries (`.pl`). Nowadays however I'd name anything that is going to be directly run as `.pl`.
Problem
ActiveState Perl installs an IIS script mapping for the extension `.plx`. Is this actually used in real life or just something specific to ActiveState?
