Could do something simple with a Perl script as such:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
my @filenames = `ls`;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "See the list below, click an item to open it: <br>\n<lui>\n";
foreach my $F (@files) {
print " <li><a href=\"$F\">$F</a></li>\n";
}
print "</lui>\n";
# EOF
You could, of course, get much fancier as it goes - but that's the quick and
dirty of doing it with a simple cgi script anyways.
