[MOBY-dev] get datatype information at runtime

[Edward Kawas]

Hi Rudolf,

Probably the easiest way to get this information without calling mobycentral
is to go to the cache. Usually datatypes in Perl MoSeS are generated as
needed from the cache, so you could get the most up to date information from
there.
