Hi, listizens. I've been trying to build an automated web site, where sections of the site are subdirectories of the document root. What I'm looking for is a way, preferably easy and convenient, for a cgi script residing in /arbitrary/cgi/directory to get a directory listing of /other_arbitrary/webserver/document/root. If I opendir(DIR,"\/"); I get the *system* root directory, which is undesirable. I *could* hardcode the full path of the document root according to the system, and this would work, but it would be a) inelegant and 2) not easily portable, both of which make it suboptimal in my opinion. I could use the path "../htdocs/" which would work on most default installations of apache, but I would prefer a guaranteed completely portable method because I may have to use the script on a MS IIS installation and would prefer to minimize the rewriting necessary for that. I've looked through the docs on perldoc.com for the CGI module, and they suggest no solution to me. (path_translated() gives me the path to the script, not to the document root.) Any suggestions? -- Robert Bunn JAPN
