markjugg has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I'm curious if people have reviews of using File::MimeInfo::Magic as part of websites, including mod_perl. I had used File::MMagic in the past, but it hasn't been updated in two years, and has 19 open bugs, including some serious ones.
Part of the File::MMagic approach is to bundle its own "magic file" data set. File::MimeInfo instead gets its data from the operating system, making it more prone perhaps to giving different results in different environments.
Your thoughts? Consider responding with a formal review of File::MimeInfo so that others can more easily find your opinion of it.
