Dunno, might be worth checking if this is system or version dependent. Maybe
different systems have different magic lists
/etc/magic:/usr/share/misc/file/magic
file-4.02 (quite old probably) certainly catches perl scripts regardless of x
permissions:
eg
$ echo '#!/usr/bin/perl' >t.pl
$ ls -l t.pl
-rw-rw-r-- 1 dsl staff 17 Jan 19 02:09 t.pl
$ file t.pl says:
t.pl: a /usr/bin/perl script text executable.
With libs, maybe you grep for "ELF" as well, that would also work for
executable binaries. (But the only action I can think of offhand that someone
might want to set for shared libs is ldd and it couldn't be that in demand).
