Asim mentioned earlier the module win32::Dirsize, which
copes well with the size problems one can often encounter
(witness his use of bigint) in determining the size of remote directories. though he says it is slow, it is certainly faster than summing file sizes via file::find.
here is a scriptlet which demonstrates its use.
use Win32::DirSize;
chomp(my $dir = shift || <DATA>);
my @dirstats;
push @dirstats,sprintf("%-40s%-10s%-10s%-10s\n",
"Directory", "Size", "FileCount", "DirCount");
if (dir_size($dir, my $dirstat) == DS_RESULT_OK){
my $size = best_convert(my $unit,
$dirstat->{HighSize},
$dirstat->{LowSize});
my $filecount = $dirstat->{FileCount};
my $dircount = $dirstat->{DirCount};
push @dirstats, sprintf("%-40s%-10s%-10s%-10s\n",
$dir,
sprintf("%8.4f", $size) . $unit,
$filecount,
$dircount);
}
push @dirstats, undef;
map { print } grep { defined } @dirstats;
__DATA__
\\save\farscape$\warez
which produces something like
Directory Size FileCount DirCount
\\save\farscape$\warez 717.0521M 4435 999
hope that helps. yes, it uses map in a void context, but i cannot resist map's allure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
