Hello fellas,

I got some files to use, but I can’t open them, their extension are .pl, based on some researches I’ve made it is a “perl” programming language, but I really have no idea on how to make them run as I don’t know if they still have to be compiled or how to run them.

If anybody has any idea how those files work, I’ll appreciate it a lot, please post all of your thoughts!.

Thank you all in advance,

Ariel
