in reply to Perl cgi script for directory listing and file downloading!! Problem: Unable to download the file

I'm still a web-noob at the moment, so I don't know for certain. But when looking at your code, I'm thinking you might find the problem if you ask yourself a couple questions:

Where on your server is your script located?
What URL do you use to access your script?
How is that different from a link like: <a href="C:/Perl64/bin/xyz.exe">xyz.exe</a>?

When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.

I am using Wamp server, so the script is located in WWW folder. I am using localhost:8080/directory.pl to access my script in browser. As pointed in earlier comment my files are located in local machine, where in wamp folder should i put te files, so that they will be accessible to script?	[reply]

masood91: It could be anywhere ... that would depend on how the web server is configured. Check with the person who set up your WWW server to find out which of the directories on your machine are mapped to be accessible from the WWW server, and which URLs the directories would correspond to. ...roboticus When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.
