I have several hundred files, most from the MS DOS days, without meaningful file extensions. Most are probably in some old version of MS Word but I don't know for sure. I'm trying to find a way to generate a list of the files and their formats. I have tried both File::Type and File::MMagic on a test directory of known, modern, files but the results weren't very good.
Anyone have recommendations? I'd prefer it be in perl but it doesn't have to be. Arvin
