Hello, I have very little experience with web programming, and even less with CGI, so I'm really in need of help here.
I have an application that runs in batch mode and generates 5 output files for every input file (all are flat text, and each of the 5 is in a different directory). I would like to build a simple browser-based UI that provides links to each output file, so they can be opened and examined efficiently at the end of a run, without forcing the user to navigate through directories and search through output files from other runs. In addition, I would like to include links to the most recent output file of each type, in the event that the user wants to review the results from an old run and then link to the most recent output. (Sorry if that's not clear...) I know how to collect the filenames I need - my problem is with the display. Since I'm trying to generate dynamic HTML pages, I thought CGI would be the way to go. However, from what I understand of CGI, it requires a web server and can't be run locally. Since all of my code is in perl, I would prefer to stick with it, if possible. A coworker suggested java as an alternative, but then I'd have to learn it first. :) Any ideas on how to do something like this are appreciated. If this idea of a UI is ludicrous, I'm open to others!
