Hi all,
How to determine the file type of a file passed as an input to the perl
program ?
I want to have the same output as it's shown by "file" command in UNIX.
Try going to CPAN and searching for it. For example,
http://search.cpan.org/search?query=file+type&mode=all
Several options come up. See which one seems easiest to use..
Hi Ray,
Before posting this query here, I indeed did a sample search on CPAN.
However I want to have a solution using Perl inbuilt module instead of some
external module as the system I am working on does not allows perl external
modules to be installed.
If you have use such modules, please suggest the one which is inbuilt in
Perl and best for this scenario ?
Oh! Then you should be more specific and mention that you searched CPAN
already.
In-built? You mean that it is part of the Perl language? I'm not sure
if there is one; perhaps someone else can help you -- but if there was
one, then people would not have developed external ones and put them on
CPAN. At least, that's what I would expect...
If you are in a shared environment, perhaps you should look into
installing external Perl modules in your local home directory instead?
Is that disallowed as well?
Ray
