The PM file extension is predominantly used by the scripting language Perl. It stands for Perl Module and files utilizing the PM format contain components of the Perl language. These components are able to be used in the creation of other Perl sub-programs and applications. Although it is able to form a self-contained program, it is more commonly utilized as an individual component. The PM file type might also be referred to as a "library".
Compatibility
Perl is designed to be operable on multiple platforms including Linux, Unix, Macintosh, and Windows. This operating system compatibility ensures that the PM file format will likewise be operable within these respective contexts. Furthermore, since the PM file type is made up of simple text code, it is highly portable for transfer between machines and across multiple versions. In addition to the native Perl language, data encoded in the PM format might similarly be accessible via related programming languages including Python, Ruby, and Tcl.
The Perl Module File should not be confused with similar file types such as .PL, .PY, or .RB, all associated with similarly structured programming languages.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PM) 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 .PM 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 .PM 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 .PM 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 .PM extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PM file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PM 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 .PM file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PM file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PM file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
