Home: Need a Custom or Prewritten Perl Program?: Throw Down The Gauntlet: Download Listing Needed

casManG Deleted Dec 30, 1999, 5:43 AM Post #1 of 4 (6635 views) Download Listing Needed Can't Post Hello, I have been searching the web for a cgi program that will allow me to display a list of the items in a directory for download but also display other information that is read from a text file with the same name. So, for example, if I have a file called download5.zip, and in the same directory I had a file called download5.txt which inside it would have the description, date, type and other things that would also print to the html rather than just the name with a link. I would like to have user defined items too so I can add fields of information to the text file and have them print out in html also... That is my suggestion.. Thanks Carl http://www.cschell.com

For right now, I would say to look in the download section located here: http://www.perlarchive.com/guide/File_Downloading/. If I find anything I'll let you know. - Mike

Some of these link indexing programs, (such as Links by Gossamer-Threads) allow you to add your own fields for display. You can create a field for each item that you would have included in your text file, also making your database content easier to administer. Instead of including a url to a site, you can insert the url to your download file. Other link managers are listed at http://www.perlarchive.com/guide/Link_Managers/ Hope this helps! - Jasmine
