as others have said, it doesn't matter what your pages are written in. all clients should care about is the Content-Type of the results.
that said, it is highly recommended that you make use of technology like mod_rewrite to eliminate filename extensions from urls. this will help you when, a few years down the line, you decide to rewrite your site in a different language. if you have to change urls, you'll break other sites' links (and lose PageRank with google).
search engines are also usually a little skittish about indexing content that looks dynamically generated. this is based not on filename extensions but by parameters in the url (ie if there is a '?' with anything after it). eg, google will follow links to a page with parameters, but won't follow links from that page to other dynamic pages. this is to avoid getting the spider caught in an infinite loop (imagine if a site appended a random number to every url.) again, using something like mod_rewrite to change your urls from 'product.pl?product_id=1234' to something more like '/products/1234/' will make it much easier to index.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
