Retrieving File's Mime-type

Alright, so I am trying to use perl (or any other shell scripting language, awk/sed/bash for instance), to retrieve the mime-type of a file.

I want to keep it in one file, and most of the modules that are on cpan that check for mime types (Magic), aren't installed on these boxes.

Anyone have a good way of checking for a file's mime type?

NAME
dh_installmime - install mime files into package build directories SYNOPSIS
dh_installmime [debhelperoptions] [-n] DESCRIPTION
dh_installmime is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing mime files into package build directories. It also automatically generates the postinst and postrm commands needed to interface with the debian mime-support and shared-mime-info packages. These commands are inserted into the maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb(1). FILES
debian/package.mime Installed into usr/lib/mime/packages/package in the package build directory. debian/package.sharedmimeinfo Installed into /usr/share/mime/packages/package.xml in the package build directory. OPTIONS
-n, --noscripts Do not modify postinst/postrm scripts. NOTES
Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts. SEE ALSO
debhelper(7) This program is a part of debhelper. AUTHOR
