This isn't really an Apache::ASP ( or modperl ) question, so in the future another forum should be used for posting perl questions of this nature like news:comp.lang.perl.misc ... for Apache::ASP issues the list is [EMAIL PROTECTED], subscribe at [EMAIL PROTECTED] # find all files in a given directory my @files = globa("/path/to/dir"); # create a link to another file, see perldoc -f symlink symlink($old_file, $new_file) || die("can't symlink $old_file to $new_file: $!"); If you are unix, and are more familiar with command line commands, then you can also do: my $output = `ln -s $old_file $new_file`; $output || die("error doing ln -s $old_file $new_file: $output"); If glob() doesn't work on your platform, you can try opendir(), readdir(), closedir() Since it sounds like you are writing a gallery, you might try instead to use one already written like Apache::Gallery. --Josh _________________________________________________________________ Joshua Chamas Chamas Enterprises Inc.
