If you have the .pm file for mime type checking (for example like Lite.pm for mime::lite)
you do not necessarily have to "install" the module. Just put it in your directory on the machine you are using, say /home/Rhije/Lite.pm

and add this to the shebang in the top of your own perl code
Code:
#!/bin/perl -I/home/Rhije/Lite.pm

This may not always work, but mime content-type checking is reasonably complex, so it is definitely worth a try. Rather than rolling your own. You can pack the two files in a tarball, extract them and run the perl. I know it violates your "one file" request.

mime.convs(5)                                                       Apple Inc.                                                       mime.convs(5)

NAME

       mime.convs - mime type conversion file for cups

DESCRIPTION

       The  mime.convs  file  defines the filters that are available for converting files from one format to another. The standard filters support
       text, PDF, PostScript, HP-GL/2, and many types of image files.

       Additional filters can be added to the mime.convs file or (preferably) to other files in the CUPS configuration directory.

       Each line in the mime.convs file is a comment, blank, or filter line. Comment lines start with the # character. Filter  lines  specify  the
       source and destination MIME types along with a relative cost associated with the filter and the filter to run:

       super/type super/type cost filter
       application/postscript application/vnd.cups-raster 50 pstoraster
