> $m = $_[1] unless(!$_[1]); This is scary itself, a double negative unless is a bit confusing. "if" would have been better I think.
> I want to do a one liner my $m = $_[1] || 'text/plain'; You can have as many conditions as you want, the first that is "true" (not blank, zero or undef) will be used.
