NAME

    Media::Type::Simple - MIME Types and their file extensions

REQUIREMENTS

    The following non-core modules are required:

      Exporter::Lite

      File::Share

      File::ShareDir

SYNOPSIS

      use Media::Type::Simple;

      $type = type_from_ext("jpg");        # returns "image/jpeg"

      $ext  = ext_from_type("text/plain"); # returns "txt"

DESCRIPTION

    This package gives a simple functions for obtaining common file

    extensions from media types, and from obtaining media types from file

    extensions.

    It is also relaxed with respect to having multiple media types

    associated with a file extension, or multiple extensions associated with

    a media type, and it includes media types for encodings such as `gzip'.

    It is defined this way in the default data, but this does not meet your

    needs, then you can have it use a system file (e.g. /etc/mime.types) or

    custom data.

    By default, there is a functional interface, although you can also use

    an object-oriented interface. (Different objects will not share the same

    data.)

REVISION HISTORY

    For a detailed history see the Changes file included in this

    distribution.

SEE ALSO

    The MIME::Types module has a similar functionality, but with a more

    complex interface.

    LWP::MediaTypes will guess the media type from a file extension,

    attempting to use the ~/.media.types file.

  Acknowledgements

    Some of the code comes from self module (by Kang-min Liu). The data for

    the media types is based on the Debian `mime-support' package,

    http://packages.debian.org/mime-support, although with *many* changes

    from the original.
