in reply to Foreign directory search with LWP?

Maybe my answer is too quick, but I don't think it's possible. A possibility would be allowing access to that site using FTP. With FTP you can get a complete directorylisting. As far as I know the HTTP protocol does not allow you to get directorylistings.

    You're right, you usually can't get directory listing but
    it's sometimes possible to 'browse' directories if the server is setup to display directory indexes
    (Options indexes with Apache)
    It's not so uncommon nowadays...
    With so configured server you can parse the html page returning the directory content
    and 'browse' the way you want using LWP.
