I have a project that installs a C program and a Perl program. I want to allow the Perl program to be installed with the suffix .pl, on Windows, for example.
In the past, I have misused EXEEXT for this, with projects that install programs in one non-C language only, but here that is not possible, since I install a C program.
Is there any generally-used way around this? If not, should I just introduce a generic-sounding variable like PERL_EXEEXT and use that, and advertise its use?
