I have been getting some good feedback on the Apache::FileMan module.
FileMan provides a file manager for a web sites through a web browser. It
is a extensive rewrite of the Apache::AutoIndex.pm module (written by
Philippe M. Chiasson), which in turn was a remake of the autoindex Apache
module. FileMan can provide the same functionality as AutoIndex.pm and can
be used to both navigate and manage the web site.
I added a destination text field, which helps make the commands more
intuitive. I also added a "View" command that allows you to view files
(MiME) within FileMan.
Now the command list includes: "Browse", "Upload", "Unzip", "Move", "Copy",
"Rename",
"Delete", "Mkdir", "View", "Help", and "SetGID".
A demo can be viewed at www.xorgate.com/FileMan/example/.XFM

A new pre-release (version 0.02) tar ball file can be down loaded from
www.xorgate.com.

Well I like the FileMan name, and I did a cpan i /fileman/ and i /FileMan/
with no response.
I plan to add an "Edit" command which I will provide an on-line text file
(HTML) editor from within FileMan.
A Michigan friend suggested learning aids, "FileMan for Dummies" interface.
All comments welcomed.
