Hullo,
I whipped this together 5min. ago, but would like a little help cleaning it up.
I need to scan multiple sendmail inboxes (/usr/home/<username>/INBOX) for size, and return a list of those over a certain limit.
It seemed the best way was to just pull the usernames from a list I generated with ls, then run the following:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
open (FH, "userlist") || die "no userlist: $!";
open (FH2, ">output") || die "no output file: $!";
   while (<FH>) {
   chomp;
my $file = ("/usr/home/$_/INBOX");
my $maxsize = (30000*1024);
   if (-s $file)  {
my $size = (stat $file)[7];
my $meg = int ($size / 1024000);
   if ($size > $maxsize) {
printf "%25s %3sMB\n", $_,$meg;
print FH2 "$_:$meg\n";
  }
 }
}
close (FH) || die "couldn't close userlist: $!:";
close (FH2) || die "couldn't close output: $!";

The chunk works just fine, but I'd like suggestions on how to make it better/stronger/faster, etc...
Is this even the right approach?
What do you think?

-thanks
