I did check your suggestion, and the code now looks like this: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#!C:\Perl\bin\perl -w

my $directory='/data/input/data.01.29.2004-15:34:19/content';
my $size=0;
my $file;

#opendir(DIRHANDLE, $directory) or die "couldn't open $directory : $!\
+n";
#my@files = grep(!/^\.\.?$/,readdir(DIRHANDLE));


    push(@dirs,$directory);     # add an element to an array
    foreach $dir (@dirs)    # loop through the elements of an array
    {
        opendir(DIR,"$dir") || die "opendir $dir failed";
        my@list = grep(!/^\.\.?$/,readdir(DIR));
        closedir(DIR);
    
    foreach $file (@list)
      {
        $size=(-s "$dir/$file");
        print "$directory,$file,$size";
        print "\n";
      }
    };

#closedir(DIRHANDLE);

However it still does not do what I want. The script now gives a list of subdirectories of 'content' directory. Each subdirectory however contains files I am interested in. Example:

/data/input/data.01.29.2004-15:34:19/content/1/file001.txt
..
/data/input/data.01.29.2004-15:34:19/content/1/file100.txt
/data/input/data.01.29.2004-15:34:19/content/2/file001.txt
..
/data/input/data.01.29.2004-15:34:19/content/2/file100.txt
..

What I get is:

/data/input/data.01.29.2004-15:34:19/content,1,8192
/data/input/data.01.29.2004-15:34:19/content,2,8192
