perl file browser

[Grant Cullen]

If you are doing backups, how about Amanda, it has clients for most (all?)
OS flavours, allows user initiated backups and restores, will stage backups
to a disk then later to tape.  I don't know if a browser interface exists
but maybe.

   The good majority of the program code is sanity checks and I assume
almost nothingso far as where things "should" be. As for Java, well, I
have never been a fan of it myself because it has always seemed very
cumbersom and I also don't like the idea of the client needing a Java
VM. On top of that, later on I want to make sure that it renders as best
as possible in a text browser for surevers without X and I don't think
Java would allow that.

   I may get stuck though and have to go Java or something similar but I
am going to do my best to avoid it. I was hoping to be playing with the
browser by this point but the sanity checking and partition discovery
and assigning portion has taken me quite a while. I will report what
route I end up taking if anyone is interested.

   Thanks again for all the ideas and comments. I am sure that I will
soon be back with more questions once I get to the browser stage! :)
