The first line should be Options +Indexes rather than just Indexes.
I ran into problems when I left out the + sign.
Some other options do help and are worth considering:
ReadmeName
(displayed as a footnote with helpful instructions/tips)
NameWidth=*
(requires FancyIndexing I think - doesn't trim filenames to 30
or so chars with a "..." in the end).
FoldersFirst
(displays folders on top, which most of us are used to)
AddDescription
(add a description associated with each file extension)
----- cut here -----
Options +Indexes
ReadmeName /directoryname/README.html
FancyIndexing on
IndexOptions NameWidth=*
IndexOptions FoldersFirst
AddDescription "My Perl script archive" pl
AddDescription "Cascading Style Sheet" css
----- end of .htaccess -----
