Re: Question on Perl (.pl) association

Another possibility would be to use a decent shell, hehehe:

,---
| New features between zsh versions 4.0 and 4.2
| ---------------------------------------------
| 
| Syntax and builtins:
| - Suffix aliases allow the shell to run a command on a file by suffix,
|   e.g `alias -s ps=gv' makes `foo.ps' execute `gv foo.ps'.  Supplied
|   function zsh-mime-setup uses existing mailcap and mime.types files
|   to set up suitable aliases.  Supplied function pick-web-browser is
|   suitable for finding a browser to show .html etc. files by suffix alias.
