executable extensions

[Wave]

While I'm not sure about whether to have extensions or not, I can say for sure that Solar's argumentation isn't right.

You execute not only executables, you execute scripts, too.

In the Unix world, you do. In the Windows world, you don't. You execute an executable which then executes the script.

Effectively you do this on Unix, too. ("./myScript.pl" and "perl ./myScript.pl" are effectively identical.)

Technically it's replaced at a lower level in Unix system, that's the only difference and what I meant to say.
