Properly speaking, that's not an extension, but rather a "subtype". RFC 2045 gives you all the gory details on extactly how Content-type is formatted: http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2045.txt > > I thought to do this: > ($not_needed,$extension) = split; But that will split on whitespace, when you need to split on a slash.

(e.g. > audio/something/mpeg) Or is it always in the format > type/file_extansion? (e.g. audio/type) You don't have multiple slashes, but you can have additional info after the subtype. For example: text/plain; charset=us-ascii You should check out the MIME::Types module on CPAN, which can give you the extension associated with a MIME type (by looking in your Win32 registry, I guess?), if that's what you're after -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
