Here's a module (File::Type) that I've been meaning to clean up for CPAN
for a while. It's in alpha, but it works for me so far.
http://slaysys.com/src/Type.pm
The "magic" it refers to must be a Perl data structure, not a "real"
magic file, though I'd really like to get to parsing real magic files.
If you want to use it, let me know and I'll CPAN it sooner. It will
need some MIME types added or a parser for a "real" MIME types file.
