Subject: Association of *.pl extension with perl interpreter call possible ?

I wrote a couple of perl scripts.
When I want to call them I have always to enter
myscript.pl
including the extension ".pl"
I want to avoid typing every time .pl but otherwise not remove the .pl extension.
Isn't there a mechanism which Linux let automatically search for myscript.pl (and call Perl interpreter)
when I type only "myscript"?
How can I achieve that ?
Matthew
