I would dare to propose two additional potential solutions:

4. Solve the issue in MIME::Type, the author is usually very responsive and
he should be willing to accept patches

5. Investigate the possibility to use Media::Type::Simple, from the feedback
page of MIME::Type it seems that this module does the same things of
MIME::Type but with additional features.


I can try to propose a patch for MIME::Type to MARKOV (i.e. start working on
solution 4).

Cheers,

    Flavio.
