Anybody have an idea why .pl won't work?

QFR for those that don't know: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_404

Because .PL is the default extension for a Perl Script, and the browser is attempting to handle the document as a perl script and not a file. From what you discovered, it appears obvious that there is a bug in the URL parsing/handling algorithm either in the web browser or even more likely something wrong with your web server software in how it processes URLs.

Hope this helps. Sounds like the fix is going to be to use some other naming scheme for that file.

If it is actually not a Perl file and the PL is a country code, try using _pl in your naming scheme.
