create a drop down menu box in cgi

[digger]

right here we go I have tracking software that i am allowed to custom and have done the following

the log file gets renamed everday to dayddmth.txt ie tue08jun.txt I now need to create a drop down box that will display all the files contained in a library on my server. so the stats can be checked at any time for any day.

so i need help with the drop down menu (or list box) and how to read the contents of a directory or list all the files with .txt or some such thing.

I have been to the forum from the guy who wrote the program but it seems he only answers certain questions or he hasn't got the time (what ever) this forum has been so helpful in the past would not have got this far without you.

thanks
George

Hi,

I'm not much cop at Perl, but google found a dir listing script:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use File::Find;
use File::Basename;

@ARGV=qw(.) if not @ARGV;
find(\&doit, @ARGV);

sub doit {
   $fpath=$File::Find::name;
   $fname=basename($fpath);
   print "$fname $fpath\n";
}

Just change the print statement to be "<option>$fname $fpath</option"> and go from there.
