[Tcsh] Question on completion

I am a perl developer and write a lot of perl tooling for work related
tasks. Most of the times the commands/scripts have a .pl extension.

Is there a completion-rule that would change


  % my-tool --option-a --option-b=5 foo bar baz

to

  % my-tool.pl --option-a --option-b=5 foo bar baz

if "my-tool" is *not* available in $PATH, but "my-tool.pl" *is*?

Other than creation a ton of aliasses
