I am writing a perl/CGI script that creates a form to get some infomation from 
the user, one such item is a directory name. I used 'fielfield' which creates a

ba browse button but it can only access the directory in the users machine but 
I want the list of files in the server. The user will not be accessing any of 
the files directly but has only to provide a directory which contains some 
specific files.
