[thelist] What do I open a .pl file with?

[Lisa Frost]

Hi all,
I am looking into using some cgi scripts. When I download the .pl file it
doesn't open automatically. What's the best program to open it? I can open
it using notepad but it is so hard to read. The text is all together and has
two big black marks everywhere, are these carriage returns?
Thanks
Lisa.

For anyone who uses dreamweaver don't waste your time signing up for the
Dreamweaver talk list. I have given it the benefit of the doubt for 6 months
now and it has to be the bitchiest list on line as well as a waste of
bandwidth. Members ignore trimming of posts and sending html mail. It has
been a rare occasion when I have actually learnt something and I am not
experienced either>
