in reply to Distinguish between HTML and Plain text

It can be done. Is it precise? You be the judge:
#!/usr/bin/perl -l use strict; use warnings; use Text::FromAny; my $log = '/root/Desktop/text.log'; open STDOUT, '>', $log; my $entries= "<TITLE>Page 7</TITLE>"; print $entries; my $tFromAny = Text::FromAny->new(file => $log); print $tFromAny->detectedType; close STDOUT;
Instead of thinking "can't", think "don't do that". It works, but it's not best practice.
