Cute. I wanted to be able to specify the dir root and use KB for file size: 

[root@devel3 root]# diff dutest dutest.patch
3c3,5
< open my( $pipe ), "du -a |";
---
> use constant UNITS => 1024;
> my $dir = $ARGV[0] || '.';
> open my( $pipe ), "du -ab $dir |";
131c133
<         $win->addstr( $i,  1, sprintf( "%8d", $self->[$i][SIZE] || '
+' )  );
---
>         $win->addstr( $i,  1, sprintf( "%8d", ($self->[$i][SIZE] || 
+0)/main::UNITS )  );
[root@devel3 root]#
