I did something similar recently to create an HTML file: --- #!/usr/bin/perl -w #lister.pl use strict; use File::Find; use Cwd; my $dir = cwd; print "<html><head><title>Listing of $dir</title></head>\n<body>"; find ( sub { print qq{<a href="$File::Find::name">$File::Find::name</a><br>\n}; }, $dir ); print "</body></html>"; --- This script is intended to be called like './lister.pl > index.html'. Leave out the HTML tags to create a simple text listing.
