I am looking for a module that can be used as part of a web based
application which requires management of a (partial) file system.
If there is no such module I wonder if it would be interesting to add
to CPAN ?


In our current state operations required are
- upload new file (with a customised hook to validate it before [1])
- download file
- rename
- delete
- merge two files (in a customised way so that will probably require
  some hook or sub classing the module. [1])
- edit file (in a customised way so this requires a hook too [1])


[1] We are dealing with XML files so we'll have to edit those in some
way that makes it simple for the user.

I saw Apache::FileManager but that is mod_perl dependent and this
application should not be.

For uploading a file I could use CGI::Upload.


So my questions are:
- Is there such a module that someone could recommend ?
- If there is no such module would a generic FileManager module using
  CGI  be interesting on CPAN ?
- What name ?  CGI::FileManager ?
- What else should such a module include ?
