Has anybody here made use of File::Extract ?

I would like to write some 'processors' for that.

I tried one of the processors that come with the distro, on a mp3 and I get garble, instead of what I would expect- maybe the id3 tags.

Seems I should be able to say this and not get junk: 

use File::Extract
my $x = File::Extract->new();
print $x->extract('./file.mp3')->text;

That is, if there were no text/id3 tags, I should not get output.

I'm asking the author also. I would like to have a working version of this system. Maybe I'm not understanding this one as it is. Can anyone suggest for or against this distro?
