Create Index Folder and append data to files

Zcity has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Im a nubie with Perl and Im trying to create a web page that will display the text files in the folder, sorted by time and date (latest updated file). This will be a secure folder, only 5 managers are allowed to have access to this folder. Managers will click on the name of the file which is a link. Then a form will display all the data contents (table) in the file, then the user will be able to use the form to append data to the text file. Its basically a web post. I understand using tie::file is a good way to start. Any other ideas... Thanks.

Er... I think you'll find most web servers will do all that by default if you just browse to a directory that doesn't contain an index file. No programming required. Update: Oh. Wait. You want to update the files. Maybe you should just webdav-enable the directory. -- <http://dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]
