This is totally cool! I have been working on a vary similar thing for a web-based photo gallery. I had users picking a category (directory) from a form, then generated a page of images and text description by

opendir( DIR, $dir )
        or die( "Error opening: $!" );<br />

my @imagefiles = grep { /\.jpg$|\.gif$|\.png$|\.JPG$|\.bmp$/ } readdir
+(DIR);

So, whenever anyone added a new image it automatically showed up. My problem was with the initial picking of a directory. I was manually having to add the categories to the form when someone added a new directory. Your code interfaces into my system with very few changes.

The only thing I want to do differently is alphabetize the list that appears in the drop down box by the last subdirectory. I'm going to have to think about that.

@row_entries= splice (@piclist, 0, 5); is a new concept for me also. It really pays off sometimes to look as the newest nodes.
