Ok, I searched for a previous post on this site that would answer my question and I was unable to find it. So here it goes. I want to be able to scan a directory and store all the files in an array. I have been succesful with this so far. From there I want to be able to create a list where the user can delete one of more of those files. This is what I have so far 
####
# Get File List
####

sub get_file_list {

my $dfiles = "/Library/WebServer/Documents/userpages/uploads";

opendir(DIR,$dfiles);
my @files = grep { $_ ne '.' && $_ ne '..' } readdir(DIR);
closedir(DIR);

print<<HTML;
<html>

    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=ISO
+-8859-1">
        <title>Upload - Delete Files</title>
    </head>

    <body bgcolor="#ffffff">
    <form action="upload.cgi" Method="post" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-da
+ta">
    <P>List of Files:
    <br>
HTML

foreach (@files) {
print "<br> Delete this File: <INPUT TYPE=\"submit\" NAME=\"action\" V
+ALUE=\"$_\">\n";
}

print<<HTML;
    
                <br>
                <br>
                <INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="action" VALUE="Submit">
                <INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="action" VALUE="Delete">
    </FORM>
HTML
}

The print statement in the foreach loop doesn't make a whole lot of sense but it was the only thing I could come up with to pass the value of the filename. I know I will need to use unlink to remove the files but as you can see I'm not there yet. Any suggestions are appreciated.
