Description

Perl applications can guess a file's type by inspecting its content rather than relying only on the filename extension. This is useful for upload handling, indexing, attachment processing, and tools that need to choose how a file should be treated.

It is a file-type detection library. Guesses are helpful but should not be the only security check before opening, executing, or trusting a file.
