A script that will show the listings in directories and allow users to do
stuff to the files, anyone have one they could show me or know where to get
one...?

Thanks,

If you are looking to write it then why do you want an existing script that
does the job? After all if you found such a thing why would you need to write
one?

Anyway, this is the wrong forum. Try the task and post any questions you have
regarding problems with doing it in perl (after checking the FAQ of course).
Be more specirfic than "do stuff".

Hello Roibn:

"show the listings in directories" ?
Perhaps opendir / readdir ?



"allow users to do stuff to the files"
Stuff? As in DELETE THEM? EDIT THEM? MOVE THEM? Are you trying to
rewrite Nautilus? Maybe you can just have them use Nautilus? I think
even Windows has some sort of primitive file manager as well you might
have them use that if you're group is MS-Inpaired.

windows xp actually doesn't have a filemanager... I think...

Oh, well, there's this very secret trick. (Hopefully, nobody from MS
reads this, ...)
Just press the Windows key and at the same time the 'E' key ...
But please, don't tell anybody I told you this ...

Yes, it does. Any decent OS comes with a file manager, even Windows.

This has nothing to do with Perl, though, so please rephrase your
questions; You wanted a script which did what? What have your tried so
far? What doesn't work?

ok, so it does have one, but it's not the old fileman... I misread
