Sure:

# file /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl
/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl: perl script text

But:

# file /usr/lib/zmd/zmd.exe
/usr/lib/zmd/zmd.exe: PE executable for MS Windows (console) Intel 80386 
32-bit

# file /usr/lib/zmd/Novell.Zenworks.Zmd.dll 
/usr/lib/zmd/Novell.Zenworks.Zmd.dll: PE executable for MS Windows (DLL) 
(console) Intel 80386 32-bit

Note the difference..

Just filed #159708. All sane people, please vote for this bug:
