I have this code below, which obtains the size of a directory and the number of files and folders (I normally use it on dirs on remote machines). It works fine but it takes twice as long as doing the same thing manually. I suspect this is due to obtaining the size (that’s one), and then obtaining the number of files and folders (that’s two), which makes the script execute two operations thus taking twice as long. My question is; Is there a way that I can combine the two operations in one, so that the script can take just as long as doing the same manually Or a bit faster?

Thanks 
use strict;
use Win32::OLE qw[in with];
my $fs = Win32::OLE->CreateObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject');
my $fCount =0;
my $sCount =0;
my $size = 0;
my $d = $fs->GetFolder("$ARGV[0]");
my @folders = $fs->GetFolder("$ARGV[0]" );
eval
{ 
    $size = $d->size( );    
    while( @folders ) 
    {
        my $folder = pop @folders;
        $fCount += $folder->Files->Count; 
        $sCount += $folder->SubFolders->Count; 
        for my $subFolder ( in $folder->SubFolders ) 
        {
            $fCount += $subFolder->Files->Count;
            push @folders, $_ for in $subFolder->SubFolders ;
            $sCount += $subFolder->SubFolders->Count;
        }
    }
    my $size_gb = ($size/1024/1024);
    print "Size: ".$size_gb."Mb ($size byte), Files: $fCount, folders:
+ $sCount";
