You got it backwards. Is Perl that's claiming Prolog files. Prolog  
precedes Perl by 15 years. Much could be said of Perl developers of  
choosing a file extension already in use by other programming  
language. With TextMate supporting "firstLineMatch" keys in the  
syntax files, I assume that a better solution can be devised instead  
of perpetuating a bigotry?

Best regards,
