Hi,
what´s the best way to find out of what type a file is?
I´ll probably be having a list of available files and another
list of the types I´ll be interested in, and it needs to be

be processed further and which ones are to be ignor
In case you are working on Unix, you can call the command on '*file*'
through Perl's function - '*system*'

Hi All,
Could you tell which is the best perl module for finding file type?
I am currently using File::Type but its missing out some (Shared
libraries, c programs etc...). Is there any modules to search those
files.

I want to have the same output as it's shown by "file" command in UNIX.
"file" uses a database called /etc/magic to determine the file type.

Unix command file gives file type of that file.
# file a.txt.gz
a.txt.gz: gzip compressed data, was "a.txt", from Unix

-s is for a socket, -l is for a symbolic link.
The complete details are in the stat entry of perlfunc.pod.
perldoc -f stat
Can I get the file type info from the result list of lstat?
such as if it's a dir( as -d), or a slink( as -s) ...etc.
how to ?
thanks.
