Sort of both, but more of the former.  Basically, if I've got a directory
sitting there with three or four different types of files in it, I'd like 
to know which ones are perl (and I can just open them up in vi and fix 
them) and which ones aren't (and I'll have to find the source somewhere if 
I need to fix them).  Right now I use .pl for that.

That seems pretty extreme for my needs.

Calling it a "process" is probably going too far.
