Thanks, I need information more than MIME type, so File::Type and File::MimeInfo seem not OK. I installed your module through cpan shell, but it doesnot pass the compilation. 
cpan> install ExtUtils::PkgConfig
...
Can't locate ExtUtils/PkgConfig.pm in @INC ....
...
cpan> install ExtUtils::PkgConfig
...snip ok info...
cpan> install File::Extractor    
Running install for module File::Extractor
Running make for F/FL/FLORA/File-Extractor-0.03.tar.gz
  Is already unwrapped into directory /root/.cpan/build/File-Extractor
+-0.03
  Makefile.PL returned status 65280
Running make test
  Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test
Running make install
  Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install

I installed libextractor(http://gnunet.org/libextractor/download/Extractor-0.5.tar.gz) by following the instruction(i.e. running "python setup.py install", everything looks ok), but I still get the same error information. ? ? any idea? many thanks...
