in reply to Getting the link to work

Hey Armando I copied and executed you program..It's fine upto listing the contents of directory.But when you start downloading file instead of the actual-path
i.e"c:/files/err"
it's taking
http://server/servlet-name/cgi-bin/<file-to-download>
This can be resolved by coding the actual path in the script as 
foreach my $file (@files) {
    print $list->p(
            $list->a({-href=>$fileDir."/".$file},
            $file)
            );
    
}

      The 1st step is configuring your apache to permit the download of the files you need, for example with the URL http:://localhost/files/err/35854785.err.

      Now that you can download, redirecting the file request with 

      $list->a({-href=>"/files/err/".$file},
          $file)
        );

      This is the simples way to resolve the problem, AFAICS.
