RFC: Apache::FileMan

I have created a new module that I called, Apache::FileMan.pm.

FileMan provides a file manager for a web sites through a web browser. It
is a extensive rewrite of the Apache::AutoIndex.pm module (written by
Philippe M. Chiasson), which in turn was a remake of the autoindex Apache
module. FileMan can provide the same functionality as AutoIndex.pm and can
be used to both to navigate and manage the web site.

Hopefully this module will open a new realm for web service providers (WSP). 

This is my first Apache module.  I am not quiet sure what others will
expect me to do, nor how I should provide the code to the mod_perl user
community for inspection.

The module has some interesting aspects, such as how to provide file
permissions (security) in a shared environment.

How about posting the url of the source? It's free, right?

What do you mean by having aspects? Is it a question, or you does the
module provides all the answers?
