Welcome to a new Module!

Document::Info v0.01 - Determine the file type of office documents.

(Currently mainly, cough, supported: MS Excel, MS Powerpoint and MS Word.)


DESCRIPTION

The module tries to figure out the document type of Office files. It utilizes
OLE::Storage to determine the file type of Windows documents. The module is
in a very early state.

Along with it comes the little demo application "lfile". If Document::Info
cannot yield the documents type it simply utilizes the well known file(1).

I'd enjoy your feedback about the package hierarchy "Document::Info" and
like especially to know if you regard the module being useful at all.


EXAMPLE

   use Document::Info;

   if ( $Info=Document::Info->new($fileName) ) {;
       # $Info constructed, that means something has been determined.

       # Fetch the currently supported properties.
       $type = $Info -> getType ( );
       $rev  = $Info -> getRevision ( );
       $os   = $Info -> getOS ( );

       if ( $type eq $Info->cMSExcel() ) {
          # Do something. Note: when checking a type or an operating System
          # always use the string constants like cMSExcel().
       }
       if ( !$revision ) {
           # revision not determined.
       }
   } else {
       # Document type could not be determined.
   }
