Bug#256649: nautilus: does not agree with file types capplet on mime type for perl file

[Matijs van Zuijlen]

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.6.3-3
Severity: normal

I have a file "test.pl". Nautilus tells me there is no action associated
with it, and that it has the mime type application/x-perl.

When I try to find this mime type in the "File types and programs"
capplet, application/x-perl is not there, but text/x-perl is, with the
expected extensions (.pl among them), and some associated actions.
