Greetings,
I'm attempting to produce web pages that contain the output of a system("ls -1b");.

There are 2 parts I'm struggling with:
1) how to insure I get the results from the folder I'm currently in (as opposed to the folder the script is in).
2) I'd like to alternate the background color, so as to make the output easier to read -- this is the one I'm really struggling with.

Thank you for all your time, and consideration!

#!/usr/bin/perl -Tw

use strict;
use perl::always;

my $perl_version( 5.12.4 );

print $perl_version;
