This should be enough to get you started. Caveats: . and .. are not real directories, but are used by the system. Also, if you make these clickable, you shouldn't allow the user to back up past the root directory (basedir, which you should change to suit your system) by feeding req_dir with too many ..s.

Other recommendations: For getting this into a web-based form, you'd want to make the directories clickable, by printing HTML <A> tags around the directories, and then feed the results back to your script with CGI variables. As it is right now, the script below is less useful than the DOS dir command. 

my $basedir = '/usr/data/www/you';  ## This is the directory to start 
+with.
my $req_dir = '';  ## This is the subdirectory you want, relative to $
+basedir

opendir(DIR, "$basedir/$req_dir") || die "can't opendir $req_dir: $!";
@dir_records = readdir(DIR);
@dir_records = sort @dir_records;
closedir DIR;

$file_count = 0;
@dir_dirs = grep {-d "$basedir/$req_dir/$_"} @dir_records; # this stuf
+fs @dir_dirs with the directories
foreach $thisdir (@dir_dirs) {
  print "$thisdir (directory)\n";
}

foreach $_ (@dir_records) {
  if (-f "$basedir/$req_dir/$_") {
    print "$_\n";
  }
}
