Re: LWP::Simple to judge the url

If you're not fixed on LWP::Simple, here's an example with Mojolicious:

use Mojo::UserAgent;
my $url = "http://de.arxiv.org/pdf/1106.3541"
print Mojo::UserAgent->new->head($url)->res->headers->content_type;
[download]

This prints application/pdf, indicating that document returned from this URL is a PDF file.

(and if you don't have Mojolicious installed, LWP::UserAgent does it as well:) `use LWP::UserAgent; my $url = "http://de.arxiv.org/pdf/1106.3541"; print LWP::UserAgent->new->head($url)->headers->content_type()` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
