What is pl file? How to open pl files?
File extension pl is associated with Perl, a stable, cross platform programming language. It is used for mission critical projects in the public and private sectors and is widely used to program web applications of all needs.
The pl extension is rare on the web, because Perl scripts are usually served as cgi. Perl is popular enough that there are a few out there, though. Although Perl won't let you insert code into static HTML pages, it does have a library specifically for generating web pages.
Using the Perl CGI library, you can generate all the parts of each web page using a specialized function; a command to generate the tag etc. So, you don't have to use "print" to generate every single line of code, which must be handy.
