Well you don't need them to end with .pl, having the perl interpreter
magic is sufficient, you can name a perl script foo.sh as long as you
have the interpreter line set.
If you wanted to you could make a .sh that was a /bin/sh script that
would just run a .pl that's in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/something.pl.
