Check and see if File::Util is available to you. I believe it will provide you with what you want if it is available. You can find out by running instmodsh.

Hope that gives you a start...

Update 
!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Util;
my($f) = File::Util->new();
sub filesize {
      my ( $selfdir, $subdirs, $files, $depth ) = @_;
      print  "$_  " . ( -s $_ ) . "\n" for sort { (-s $a) <=> (-s $b) 
+} @$files;
   }
$f->list_dir( '/tmp/dir1' => { recurse => 0, callback => \&filesize, p
+attern=>'\.pl$' } );

Update_2Forgot to mention that this code is right from the POD for the File::Util module. It is not mine!

...the majority is always wrong, and always the last to know about it...

Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results...
