application/x-perl vs text/x-perl

Hi,

Does anyone know the difference between these 2 mimetypes?  A "Perl Program" 
is also a "Perl Source File" after all...I don't see the need for a 
distinction between the two, nor the distinction itself.

And to make things worse, they have overlapping patterns:
application/x-perl: Patterns=*.pl;*.perl;
tex/x-perl: Patterns=*.pl;*.pm;
