How can I change in a legal Perl way the user rights -full access- of my/our public folder and it's content? In our small department, we use a simple html-page (browser favorites) for "actual" documents and announcements etc. Everyone can dump his usefull documents in this folder. My Perl script generates an updated "index.html". New entries will be highlighted and older documents will be moved to a back up folder. Alternative: change user rights manually. I can change the user rights of my public folder -legal-manually for 60 different users under different log ins. And every week there is an update.... I use Cava packager for my simple scripts and they work! There is one "tiny" problem; user rights! Summary of the script: run my/our perl script, read the content of the documents in "my/our" folder and generate new hyperlinks, overwrite my/our existing "index.html"
