Perl

Posted by Amino-X on 1999-04-08

Hello,

     I am about as new to Perl as a newbie can possibly get.  I am still
looking at tutorials deciding on which one to buy. :)
I recently signed up with a free web hosting service that allows a
CGI-BIN area, but does NOT allow *.cgi applications, only *.pl apps. The
problem is I simply can not find *.pl applications anywhere on the
Internet.  My question is what is the difference between *.cgi and *.pl
applications? and where (if anywhere) can I find and download *.pl
scripts?  (I have already tried places like Matts Archive, PERL.com and
several others.)

     Thanks for the help.

Bradley.
