.pl matches non-Perl files #3

See, for example, 11-Rest_SlumpOnFloor/rsfgtMovementIndv_new.pl. This means a lot of non-Perl gets indexed as Perl.

Also, Perl code also comes in .pm, .plx, and .t files as well as files with no extension. Any file with perl in the shebang line is likely a Perl script, and any file that has package statements is likely to be a Perl module.

Ignoring all those and focusing solely on .pl extensions results in oddities such as this.

As someone suggested on reddit I changed perl visualization to include only pm files. Please let me know how you feel about new version?

That cloud looks more reasonable. Although it looks like it is also capturing Perl 6 content as indicated by the prominence of nqp.
