Why do you need to know that before going in to the file?  If the
program "frazzy" is broken, you go to "frazzy".  Why do you want
to know that's Perl already?

And if you need to know, "file frazzy" will tell you precisely what it
has.

Extensions for programs convey redundant useless information, and serve
only to distract.  Please don't use them on Unix.
