I second that idea.

Allowing other users to delete items is iffy. I'd like to suggest "marking" the files deleted, and generate a report of "deleted" files.

Now, I'm not against deleting files via CGI, but there are unforeseen dangers in allowing anyone to delete information from your server. If you do decide to allow file deletion, use strict; Taint (-T) and lots of self checking to make sure someone down the road doesn't decide to poke around and inadvertantly wipe out information you'd grown attached to.
