I will include no code here, just concept. A html <SELECT> type form, that pulls its options from a predetermined directory (possibly recursivley) using the dir listing functions built into perl. Select your file and hit submit. A script then takes that file name, does an open() on it shoves the data into a scalar or list, does a close() and then opens a new html page, passing the variable on to the new page. The new page contains a <TEXTAREA> with the value attribute set to the variable. print "<TEXTAREA VALUE=\"@stuff_from_file\"> edit the stuff in the text area and hit submit, while will rm the old file, and replace it with the info in the text area ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steveo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 4:01 AM Subject: perl, web based text editors available? > I have a small dynamic website I wrote in perl.
