I am fairly new to Perl and I have come across a problem that I cannot seem to find any help on.

I am trying to list the contents of a directory on the server in a normal HTML Drop Down Box.

Does anyone have any pointers or can help? it would be much appreciated =P

Try This:

#!/perl

$dir = "/path/to/dir";
@files = `$ls $dir`;
chomp @files;

print "<select>";
for (@files) {
print "<option value="$_">$_n";
}
print "</select>";


That ought to do it.

Start here -> http://www.devshed.com/Talk/Forums/Forum6/HTML/000335.html Then alter the "print" line with "print "<option value...". Or you may include the $target_dir within that line.
