Nah, there are plenty of perl programs that install into /usr/bin (or
equivalent) simply with +x and no .pl extension. lxc.pl should do that too.
If you're worried about the shebang line, maybe change it to #!/usr/bin/env
perl

To be honest I know nothing about the perl naming policy :). If you think
that makes sense then by all means go for it (and change the 'use' line in
lxc.pl and 'package' line in Commands.pm as well of course).

Maybe just put them in doc/examples.

Thanks Daniel!
