Hi people,
I have finished some little perl scripts that gives basic infos to my users. I want to make these perl scripts available to all users (so I would probably put them in /usr/local/bin).
However, my perl scripts has the .pl extension, and I would like them to
keep this extension for finding purposes (like if I need to find all .pl
files are in /usr/local for example). The users are used to enter a
command without having to type the extension (ls, who, etc.) so that
wouldn't be a good idea for them to call my perl script with the
extension. What would be the best thing to do if I don't wanna lose the
.pl extension?
I assume we're talking about some Unix flavor here and given that, I really can't see a reason to keep them. Couldn't you just as easily grep for the perl shebang line to find them again when needed? Better yet, keep copies in a source directory for editing and whatever else. Upgrading is a simply copy at that point, right?
Well, hope that gives you some ideas.
James
