Try creating a droplet that looks like this:


#!perl -w

foreach $file (@ARGV)
{
    print $file," ->  ",join("/",MacPerl::GetFileInfo($file)),"\n";
}

That way you can drop several files on top of it at once and get information
on all of them. Four random files on my desktop produce:

Macintosh HD:Desktop Folder:Internet Explorer ->  MSIE/APPL
Macintosh HD:Desktop Folder:frontier.root (current) ->  LAND/TABL
Macintosh HD:Desktop Folder:MacPerl script template ->  McPL/TEXT
Macintosh HD:Desktop Folder:untitled ->  R*ch/TEXT

Note that frontier.root (current) is actually an alias to a file deep in the
depths of the hard drive someplace and is returning the type and creator of
the original file (aliases are like that).
