A quick rewrite:
use strict; use IO::File; my $size; my $inode; my $sum = 0; my @entries; my $e; my $percent = 0; my $remsum = 0; my $counter = 0; my $du = new IO::File; if (@ARGV) { chdir "$ARGV[0]" or die "cannot change to [ $ARGV[0] ]\n"; } $du->open("du -sk *|") or die "cannot open du program and pipe"; while (<$du>) { ($size, $inode)=split; $inode .= "/" if (-d $inode); $sum += $size; push @entries, { size => $size, inode => $inode }; } @entries = sort { $b->{size} <=> $a->{size} } @entries; $du->close; foreach $e (@entries) { $percent = $e->{size}/$sum*100; if ($counter < 10) { printf( "%30s | %5d | %5.2f%%\n", $e->{inode}, $e->{size}, $percent); } else { $remsum += $e->{size}; } $counter++; } if ($remsum > 0) { printf( "%30s | %5d | %5.2f%%\n", "REMAINING FILES", $remsum, $remsum/$sum*100); }
Edits: * moved sort out of loop
