You could certainly translate them yourself:

First, create your translation table (ficticious data, of course):

my %translation_table = (
        1=>"bool",
        27=>"char",
        13=>"dec",
        34=>"nul",
        55=>"etc...",
    );

Then, using the value from catalog functions, select and then print (or say) the appropriate data-type-word to your output.
