Actually it's the web server's configuration that interprets this. Your server appears to display a directory if the default file isn't present (index.htm in this case). Mine's configured to not display the directory (you get a Forbidden error I believe).

One way would be to change the default document for your home directory so there isn't one, or that index.htm isn't one of them. Then when someone browses to your directory, they get a directory listing and they can click on the index.htm to get your index page. Plus you can force it to index.htm by giving out yoursite/index.htm. The httpd.conf file is generally owned by the web server process or by root so if you're not root, you'll need to get their ok to have it changed just for your directory.

Alternately, you can have an index.php file as one of the documents and have it just whip up a quick directory listing with some data at the top welcoming folks to your site. That assumes php is installed of course. Not sure if you can do that with perl (I use php for other things so php is available to me).
