This is true for Unix/Posix systems, but unfortunately not for Windows systems. And if the maintainer of a great Perl script wants his script to work on both platforms, he'll probably will name it GreatPerlScript.pl If the extension .pl is linked with a Perl interpreter in Windows, he'll be able to run it on both systems without a prepending "perl"
Don't get me wrong here: I see the reasons for removing the extensions, but I think this is a valid point for having one in the first place.
