in reply to Using the HTTP::Daemon on Windows 95

Hi.
Thanks for the reply!

I've been looking at jellybean, but it's too complex for the type of thing i want to do.

I want my perl script to do the following:
- Open a port on my ip so that i can serve files (eg. 24.232.100.39:1280 )
- Then, for example: a user requests the following url: 24.232.100.39:1280/mp3/ and he/she gets a listing of the files in, for example, E:\Mp3\ .

This is all I want to do. Is it really so hard?

Thanks,
Ralph :)

    If that's all you want to do, why not use one of the multitude of free webservers that are available? I think apache runs on Win95, I know that there are others. I'm sure a Google search will turn up at least a dozen. And don't forget to check TUCOWS.
