Probably. Something like:

ls -ld /var/log/* | perl -e 'foreach (<STDIN>) { /(\d+) (\w\w\w +\d+
+\d+(?::\d+)?) (.*)/; print "<tr><td>$3</td><td>$2</td><td>$1</td></tr>\n";}
'

... would probably work, but really you should opendir() and stuff properly,
specially if ls is doing funny ANSI coloring or something.

(Watch the wrapping on the above, it's supposed to all be on one line).

Cheers,

Alex.
