Eclipse syntax highlighting on extensionless files?

Question

I have a perl CGI script that needs to have a specific extensionless filename to run correctly from the software that uses it. I\'m using Eclipse 3.7.0 on Ubuntu 11.04 Linux

Answer 1

Found the solution to this, thought I might throw it in here if someone has a similar problem later and runs into this.

What I did was create a link to the script, and gave the link a .pl extension. This happily caused Eclipse to parse the syntax correctly. Problem solved.
