I received a file from a friend (a really fantastic perl programmer) for checking disc space usage of web sites on a server. I continuously slam him with a barrage of questions……. So I am trying rather unsuccessfully to find my own answers now. The script should check for disc space usage in sites which I place directories for under the my @sites= list on line 14. This all looks pretty simple to me and I believe I understand it……. Except on thing. The reason it doesn’t work seems to be line 8 “if ($pass ne 'Tn9SG0s') { exit; }” I understand that the code says if you receive a pass not equal to 'Tn9SG0s' then exit. But what I don’t understand is what is 'Tn9SG0s'? Right now the script prints line 2 and exits. Any thoughts or ideas would be most appreciated. THANKS! Here it is enlighten me please! 
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
use CGI;

my $query = new CGI;
my $pass = $query->param('pass');

if ($pass ne 'Tn9SG0s') { exit; }

$path = "/home/httpd/$site/html/"; 

use File::Find;

my @sites = ("xyz-site/xyz-site-directory",
            "xyz-site2/xyz-site-directory2"
            );            
push(@sites,     '/home/tomato/',
                #put any other directories in here
                );

foreach my $site (@sites) {
    $sizeb = 0;
    $path = "/home/httpd/$site"     if $site !~ m!^/!; 
    $path = "$site"         if $site =~ m!^/!; 
    #$path = "/home/stanley/"; 
    $file = 0;
    &find ( sub { $sizeb += -s }, "$path");
    &find ( sub { $file += 1 }, "$path");
    my $sizekb = int ($sizeb / 1024);
    my $sizemb = int ($sizekb / 1024);
    print qq(<h4> $site </h4>);
    print " Files $file <br>";
    print " bytes $sizeb <br>";
    print "Kbytes $sizekb <br>";
    print " mbytes $sizemb <br>";
}

PS I have tried to comment out line line 6 my $pass = $query->param('pass'); but then the script just hangs.... So what is wrong with my new CGI (line 5).
