Abstract: A rectangular Wilson loop centered at the origin, with sides parallel to space and time directions and length $2L$ and $2T$ respectively, is perturbatively evaluated $calO(g^4)$ in Feynman gauge for Yang--Mills theory in $1+(D-1)$ dimensions. When $D>2$, there is a dependence on the dimensionless ratio $L/T$, besides the area. In the limit $Toinfty$, keeping $D>2$, the leading expression of the loop involves only the Casimir constant $C_F$ of the fundamental representation and is thereby in agreement with the expected Abelian-like time exponentiation (ALTE). At $D=2$ the result depends also on $C_A$, the Casimir constant of the adjoint representation and a pure area law behavior is recovered, but no agreement with ALTE in the limit $Toinfty$. Consequences of these results concerning two and higher-dimensional gauge theories are pointed out.
