I need to scan a directory tree and generate a list of file extensions
from that tree for a search against a database. That way I can be
sure the database is properly updated based on all of the extensions
in this directory. The directory amounts to projects code and binary
files. I know how to use File::Find to search a list of file types
and get their *names*. Would searching and getting the file types be
basically the same thing?

Could someone point me at some code that could help me accomplish
this? Much appreciated.
