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.
HTH,
Jan
