Is a web server required for executing an activeX control?

Programmatically copy files into PowerApp "Web Files" gallery

I have a few css and js files produced by a React App build process - I need these files for my PowerApp app.
For now, I am copying these manually but wondering if this can be automated through PowerShell or other script?

After crawling a website, I have non-perl files with a .pl extension

I have a static website I downloaded. Among the usual .css, .js and .html files there is a .pl file with the following contents:
I had to upload a screenshot because the file contents didn't display correctly when I copied and pasted them here. I understand it's a Perl file but can anyone tell me what purpose it has?
You can tell from the magic byte in that file that it's a GIF file. GIF98a is a version of a gif file.
So what almost certainly happened is
Someone created a web server
That server is running in CGI mode.
They have a perl script (which is normally .pl suffix)
That perl script is serving up files.
That perl script did not set Content-Disposition header properly so your browser doesn't know what to save it as.
Your browser defaulted the save-name to the name of the cgi script, or you accepted that manually.
It served you a .gif file, which you downloaded to that location.

How To Sync Visual Studio Code Local Files With Mapped File Server?

Here is a simple description of my problem. If you need more information please inquire.
I am not seeing any way that you would be able to sync files from my local computer to another file server. Is there a way that this would be possible using Visual Studio Code and a mapped network drive file server?

You can sync files to another machine via a plugin called 'ftp-sync' this will allow you to send files to a destination via the FTP or SFTP protocol. This plugin also allows automatic upload on save (which is awesome).

Unable to attach certain file types to MoinMoin page?

I configured a a local MoinMoin server and am trying to attach an excel file to a page. Upload for cpp, ods and txt files works fine but pdf, exe, doc, xls and xlsx files DON'T get attached. Once I click the 'upload' button, I get redirected back to the wiki page. When I go back to the Attachments sections I don't see the file attached to the page.
(Running MoinMoin 1.9.3 + Apache2.2 on Windows XP.)
Workaround:
It seems to be an issue only when moin python scripts are called as CGI scripts. I switched to using WSGI in Apache (following instructions from http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/IntegrationWithMoinMoin) and am able to upload any file.
