I think it makes sense to keep it as ".pl". Without the "#!" things like editors will use the extension to guess what type of file it is, for features like syntax highlight and auto-indentation.

I was actually tempted to _keep_ the #! line for that reason, but then the built result ends up with two such lines (which is not wrong, but is confusing if anybody actually looks at it).
