I have the following code but it's telling me every directory is empty... Is it possible to get this to actually work to find empty directories or do I have to use open dir etc? 

#!/usr/bin/perl
# emptydir
# Checks for empty directories
# Ver 0.1 Nov 2013 

use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Find;

my $drive = 'C:/Temp/';
my @empty;
my $ndirs = undef;
my $dsize = undef;

find(\&listing, $drive);
#Do stuff here

foreach my $files (@empty) {
    print "Found empty folder $files\n";
    }
print "Found $ndirs folders in total\n";
    
sub listing{

if (-d $File::Find::name) {
    my $dsize = (stat($File::Find::name))[7];
    if ($dsize == 0) {
        push @empty, $File::Find::name;
        }
     $ndirs++;
    }
}
