Yes. Definitely. Just you. None of the rest of us has noticed anything
odd at all.

Is it just me who has noticed the similarities between

That's not right.  MIMEs do type/format (e.g. image/gif.)  So it'd more
likely be:

Content-type: beer/guinness

Did I?  It's not you know.  You forgot this bit of the perldoc -f use as
well:

   If you don't want your namespace altered,
   explicitly supply an empty list:

   use Module ();

   That is exactly equivalent to

   BEGIN { require Module }

i.e. that use Module and use Module() are ne.
