in reply to opening files like web ftp style...

If your question is "how do I get a directory listing with download links for a HTTP server", then the best answer is: by not using Perl, but by using the directory listing feature of your web server.

I know Apache can do that out-of-the-box. Maybe you need to adjust your configuration, though.

If that's not your question, please clarify it.

    you got it right... so if i dont use perl, how do i use the directory listing features ? as you said, it has to be done only by modifying apache config file? or any other ways? thanks for the reply :)

      I know of no other way than modifying the configuration, either by editing the main config file, or in a .htaccess file.

      Here's the documentation.
