I would like to read the content of a directory, that is not on the same server, the script runs on.

This doesn't work:

opendir (VER, "http://www.airness.de") || die "mistake!";

Maybe it is not possible at all, but I could no find anything in the Camel book.

Thanks.

I don't belive there is away. This could be a huge security risk.

oh no, that can't be done. I myself don't allow directory browsing for most of the directories on my site.

You could, however, use NET::FTP to conect to that server and do what you through this. I don't know if it would work for what you need.
