No, there is no problem with perl.
What hangs with perl if you try it?
BTW:
$ touch aux
touch: setting times of `aux': Invalid argument
$ ls
$ touch aux.test
touch: setting times of `aux.test': Invalid argument
$ ls
$ touch test.aux
$ ls
test.aux
-> Extensions are allowed.
This section in the FAQ is outdated at least for my NT box perl
works fine and extensions with special names are allowed).
