Hi,
I am sorry John, i think that won't help me :-(
File::MMagic works like File::Type ( which says its a improvement of
File::MMagic ) and that checks for Mime types, not for encodings.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/enc % perl -MFile::MMagic -wle '$f = new File::MMagic();
for(@ARGV){ print
$f->checktype_filename($_)}' *
text/plain
text/plain
text/plain
text/plain
application/octet-stream
text/plain
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/enc % ls
cp1252.txt iso-8859-1.txt mac.txt us-ascii.txt utf16.txt utf8.txt
Are there any other suggestions?
