Title: guess media type for a file or a URL

Description:
This module provides functions for handling media (also known as MIME)
types and encodings. The mapping from file extensions to media types is
defined by the _media.types_ file. If the _~/.media.types_ file exists it
is used instead. For backwards compatibility we will also look for
_~/.mime.types_.

The following functions are exported by default:

* guess_media_type( $filename )

* guess_media_type( $uri )

* guess_media_type( $filename_or_uri, $header_to_modify )

This function tries to guess media type and encoding for a file or a URI.
It returns the content type, which is a string like '"text/html"'. In
array context it also returns any content encodings applied (in the order
used to encode the file). You can pass a URI object reference, instead of
the file name.

If the type can not be deduced from looking at the file name, then
guess_media_type() will let the '-T' Perl operator take a look. If this
works (and '-T' returns a TRUE value) then we return _text/plain_ as the
type, otherwise we return _application/octet-stream_ as the type.

The optional second argument should be a reference to a HTTP::Headers
object or any object that implements the $obj->header method in a similar
way. When it is present the values of the 'Content-Type' and
'Content-Encoding' will be set for this header.

* media_suffix( $type, ... )

This function will return all suffixes that can be used to denote the
specified media type(s). Wildcard types can be used. In a scalar context
it will return the first suffix found. Examples:

@suffixes = media_suffix('image/*', 'audio/basic');
$suffix = media_suffix('text/html');

The following functions are only exported by explicit request:

* add_type( $type, @exts )

Associate a list of file extensions with the given media type. Example:

add_type("x-world/x-vrml" => qw(wrl vrml));

* add_encoding( $type, @ext )

Associate a list of file extensions with an encoding type. Example:

add_encoding("x-gzip" => "gz");

* read_media_types( @files )

Parse media types files and add the type mappings found there. Example:

read_media_types("conf/mime.types");
