This will list Everything  including sub directories  from the directory you specify  in order  and with the attributes  I have spent days looking for something to do this  and I took parts from this entire discussion  and a little of my own  and put it together  ENJOY       usr bin perl -- print qq Content-type  text html n n   print qq  lt font face  arial  size  2  gt     use File  Find     find    amp wanted tom    home thomas public html      if you want just one website  uncomment this  and comment out the next line find    amp wanted tom    home    exit   sub wanted tom     dev  ino  mode  nlink  uid  gid  rdev  size  atime  mtime  ctime  blksize  blocks    stat        mode    stat      2    mode   substr sprintf   03lo    mode   -3    if  -d  File  Find  name    print   lt br gt  lt b gt --DIR  File  Find  name --ATTR  mode lt  b gt  lt br gt       else   print   File  Find  name --ATTR  mode lt br gt         return

If you are a slacker like me you might like to use the File  Slurp module  The read dir function will reads directory contents into an array  removes the dots  and if needed prefix the files returned with the dir for absolute paths  my  paths   read dir    path to dir   prefix   gt  1

If you want to get content of given directory  and only it  i e  no subdirectories   the best way is to use opendir readdir closedir   opendir my  dir    some path  or die  Cannot open directory       my  files   readdir  dir  closedir  dir    You can also use   my  files   glob   dir             But in my opinion it is not as good - mostly because glob is quite complex thing  can filter results automatically  and using it to get all elements of directory seems as a too simple task   On the other hand  if you need to get content from all of the directories and subdirectories  there is basically one standard solution   use File  Find   my  content  find    amp wanted    some path    do something with   content     exit   sub wanted     push  content   File  Find  name    return
