Hi, I can do the following in MacPerl to determine the type of a file: $file_type = MacPerl::GetFileInfo("$image_dir:$file_name"); $file_type then contains something like 'MooV', etc. Is it possible to do the same thing in a Windows environment without actually looking for the extension (the extension won't be there for the problem I have)? If so, I am looking for a portable way to do this on both platforms. Any help is greatly appreciated.
