I must have missed your added question. &nbsp;You should make all of the different &quot;executable&quot; types of a different extension under NT.<br />

They say Perl scripts can have the filename extention of '.cgi' instead of '.pl' (or even no extension) - if this be the case and you have other type of scripts (python, tcl etc etc) &amp;&nbsp;u call them .cgi -- how does the system interpret these i.e. whether it's a Perl or a Python which needs to process the script requested from the browser.

Filename association : Perl, Tcl, python

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
