Greetings Monks,
I've ran into a small situation and here I am to seek the help of you esteemed.

This is the requirement - to emulate a windows-explorer like directory tree structure (using perl, ofcourse)
Oh, and the directories that we're talking of is from a linux box.
So, considering I have a recursive directory listing in the form like this: 
examples/html:
examples/html/bars:
examples/html/headers:
examples/html/links:
examples/html/lists:
examples/html/menus:
examples/html/rgb:
examples/html/tables:
examples/ps:
examples/ps/marks:
examples/splash:
examples/splash/dropbox:
examples/splash/frame:
examples/splash/hair:
examples/splash/icon:
examples/splash/menu:
examples/splash/menubar:

..the output that is required is a kind like this: 
<ul>
    <li><a href="examples/">examples/</a>
        <ul>
            <li><a href="examples/html">html/</a>
            <ul>
                <li><a href="examples/html/bars/">bars</a></li>
                <li><a href="examples/html/headers/">headers</a></li>
                <li><a href="examples/html/links/">links</a></li>
                <li><a href="examples/html/lists/">lists</a></li>
                <li><a href="examples/html/menus/">menus</a></li>
                <li><a href="examples/html/rgb/">rgb</a></li>
                <li><a href="examples/html/tables/">tables</a></li>   
+             
            </ul>
            </li>
            <li><a href="examples/ps/"">ps/</a>
            <ul>
                <li><a href="examples/ps/marks">marks</a></li>
            </ul>
            </li>
            <li><a href="examples/splash/">splash/</a>
            <ul>
                <li><a href="examples/splash/dropbox/">dropbox</a></li
+>
                <li><a href="examples/splash/frame/">frame</a></li>
                <li><a href="examples/splash/hair/">hair</a></li>
                <li><a href="examples/splash/icon/">icon</a></li>
                <li><a href="examples/splash/menu/">menu</a></li>
                <li><a href="examples/splash/menubar/">menubar</a></li
+>
            </ul>
            </li>
        </ul>
    </li>
</ul>

The Unordered-List will then be used along with a JavaScript code and a Style Sheet making it a tree-like expandable struture.
I'm finding the making of the unordered list a bit complicated - from the raw data. (Array of arrays, multiple arrays etc.)
And this is only the directories and we aren't listing any files at all.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Rupesh.
