ANNOUNCE: File::MimeInfo::Applications

[Jaap Karssenberg <j g karssenberg student utwente nl>]

Greetings,

This is a slightly off topic post because it is not about Gtk2, but it 
is about desktop bindings for perl so I figured it might be of interest 
for this list.

I released a new version of File::MimeInfo onto CPAN which is updated to 
the 0.13 version of the shared-mime-info specification from freedesktop.org.

Added to this release is a module called File::MimeInfo::Applications. 
If the freedesktop desktop-file-utils package is installed this module 
can tell you which applications can open files of a certain mimetype. 
This is compatible with the way a program like Nautilus finds 
applications for the default "open" action and the "open with" menu for 
a certain file.

So if you want desktop applications to open files with user configured 
applications this module can help you out.

Also packaged is a script called "mimeopen" which can be used to open 
files from the terminal with a suitable application.

Cheers!
