I noticed while testing
  ppt-0.14/src/file/file.slay
from
  http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/C/CW/CWEST/ppt-0.14.tar.gz
that it is trying to import functions
that are not (no longer?) exported from File::Type
I get
  Undefined subroutine &main::get_type called at ./file.slay line 19.

but the CPAN module
File::Type verson 0.22 (by Paul Mison) only implements
  mime_type, checktype_filename, and checktype_contents
which are member functions

(Oh, I see now that there is an embedded
File::Type package (v0.10) inside file.slay, but
it doesn't really get used without extra work (extract and add to @INC)

I see that the distributed ppt-0.14/bin/file is a copy of file.kulp
which seems to work, but I thought I should bring up
the non-functional questions about file.slay.
