Date updated: October 31, 2016
File extension perl is also used by Bart ransomware in effort to mimic a common perl script file. Much like other ransomware types, it encrypts users files and demands ransom for the decryption key.

Unless the files are decrypted first, there is no way to convert them to anything else.
