in reply to file management system

You have lots of choices. See File::Find or glob or opendir.

To be really accurate about file types, try File::MMagic.

You may find that it's worthwhile to cook up a makefile which generates a static index page. You'd run make in the directory as part of the cleanup in the admin's upload script.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I looked through File::Find and it doesn't seem to provide any practical code, atleast not relevent to what I'm trying to do. It has a few snippets but nothing to the degree of what I'm trying to do (I've also searched other sites on it as well).

    Can you or anyone else show how to do it with opendir so I don't have to grab another module to do this? All I really need to do is read all the files and group them in their own separate arrays or hashes with their file information.

    Thanks everyone.
