PL files are related to the Perl Script programming language. Perl Script, commonly known as 'Perl', is an interpreted language used for web programming and development, as well as system scripting and data mining. A Perl script is created when a user uses the .pl file extension and save a text-based file using the Perl language. The file contains commands written using the Perl coding syntax.
Uses of the PL File Extension
PL files are used with the Perl scripting language. The PL file is intended to be read by the computer’s operating system and direct the computer to execute commands within the file. This type of file is commonly encountered when a person accesses web content over the internet that are powered by the Perl language. Generally, the contents of this type of file are not intended to be viewed by a human as they contain Perl script commands that must be read by an interpreter in order to have any effect.
Similar File Extensions
Files with a similar function exist with other file extensions as well such as .cgi, .pm, .t, and .phtml. The difference between these types of files is basically a matter of syntax, as each of these languages has a different structure and syntax.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PL) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .PL extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .PL file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .PL extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .PL extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PL file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PL file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .PL file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PL file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PL file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
