MIME types are used in MIME compliant lines, for instance as part of e-mail and HTTP traffic, to indicate the type of content which is transmitted. Sometimes real knowledge about a mime-type is need. This module maintains a set of MIME::Type objects, which each describe one known mime type. There are many types defined by RFCs and vendors, so the list is long but not complete. Please don't hestitate to ask to add additional information.

MIME types are used in many applications, for instance as part of e-mail and HTTP traffic, to indicate the type of content that is transmitted. Sometimes detailed knowledge about a mime-type is need; however, this module only knows about the file-name extensions that relate to some file-type. It can also be used to produce the right format: types that are not registered at IANA need to use 'x-' prefixes.
It's boring to deal with opening files for IO, converting strings to handle- like objects, and all that. With Mixin::Linewise::Readers and Mixin::Linewise::Writers, you can just write a method to handle handles, and methods for handling strings and filenames are added for you.
This module can serve as a transparent interface to any TIEHASH package that is required to store arbitrary perl data, including nested references. Thus, this module can be used for storing references and other arbitrary data within DBM databases.
Module::Build is a system for building, testing, and installing Perl modules. It is meant to be an alternative to ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Developers may alter the behavior of the module through subclassing in a much more straightforward way than with MakeMaker. It also does not require a make on your system - most of the Module::Build code is pure-perl and written in a very cross-platform way. In fact, you don't even need a shell, so even platforms like MacOS (traditional) can use it fairly easily. Its only prerequisites are modules that are included with perl 5.6.0, and it works fine on perl 5.005 if you can install a few additional modules.
