Hi Deborah, It's actually a matter of not doing. If you have a web-enabled directory, and it does not have a default index, [usually, particularly on Unix, this is index.html] the server automatically generates an index of the files available. This is the traditional standard, anyway. Some web-server configurations may have directory browsing disabled by default, and in those cases you would have to re-enable it. this seems to be the case with IIS. With Unix, this permission would correspond to read permission on the folder. So you actually don't need to do any programming at all for this task, unless you want to do some presentation processing, in which case you might have your index.html call an appropriate Perl script on loading.
