Subject: Hash Order based failures on 5.17.x
There appears to be some code somewhere in MIME::Types with an implicit dependency on hash ordering in Perl, which, will randomly break on >5.17 due to hashes becomming truely randomly ordered. 

perl -MMIME::Types -E 'say MIME::Types->new( complete_only => 1 )->mimeTypeOf(q{pl})';

>=5.17 , that will randomly switch between text/x-perl and application/x-perl

It was not my intention to have perl mentioned twice. I think we should remove the "text/x-perl" version. -- Regards, MarkOv ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Overmeer MSc MARKOV Solutions Mark@Overmeer.net solutions@overmeer.net http://Mark.Overmeer.net http://solutions.overmeer.net

On my Linux box: grep perl $(locate mime.types) Results in: /data/share/cups/mime/mime.types:application/x-perl pl /etc/apache2/mime.types:application/x-perl pl pm al perl /etc/htdig/mime.types:application/x-perl pl pm al perl /etc/mime.types:application/x-perl pl pm al perl /usr/etc/mime.types:application/x-perl pl pm Release 1.37, later today, will removed text/x-perl I hope it does not break things for people... but "text/" is a mistake.
