creating htmls from a directory tree?

[Nathan Vidican]

Could do something simple with a Perl script as such:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
my @filenames = `ls`;

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

print "See the list below, click an item to open it: <br>\n<lui>\n";
foreach my $F (@files) {
  print "  <li><a href=\"$F\">$F</a></li>\n";
}
print "</lui>\n";

# EOF

You could, of course, get much fancier as it goes - but that's the quick and
dirty of doing it with a simple cgi script anyways.
