Unusual extensions and GoogleBot

I am going to add a few extensions to my site. Besides, say, .html and
..mpl files, I will have pages ending with .solver, .lesson, .quiz,
..book, etc etc. All of those will be handled by PerlHandlers
programmatically.

Anyway, I hope that search engines would have no problem considering
those pages. I already offer .wikipedia files, and those are indexed
by google, and this gives me hope. In any case, I want to
doublecheck. Thanks.

My guess is that spiders look at mime-type rather than the file
extension.

without an extension -> works

Just make sure you send the right Content-type.
