I've tried using Solaris's 'file' command, which seems to work ok on my
2 sample files, but on AIX, I get different results for two different
files that are gzipped.
One result reads : gzip (.gz) compressed data
The second is : data or International Language text
both files are gzipped.
....so, I was wondering if there existed a reliable, consistent way of
testing the file_type of a file within Perl that would not vary across
OS.
