...And it hurts me terribly

I wrote a script a while back that goes out to all my servers and logs various media files to text files, one file per server. I wrote this script at the same time to sort those server files by media type. Recently added .wma files to the mix.

Most of the file types take a minute or less to complete, with the exception of WMA which can take 20 minutes. the wma log is never bigger than the other logs, so I don't understand the time difference unless there is something going in the regex that I just don't see.

I'll be reading up on this, but...

Anyone have any ideas?

#sifts all the server logs based on media type

@servers=('XXXXX','YYYYYYY','ZZZZZZZ');
$dir1='//workstation/share/directory/';
@types=('mp3','avi','mpg','mpe','wav','mov','rmj','zip','exe','wma');

foreach $type (@types){
    $total=0;
    open OUT, ">$dir1/sifted/$type\.txt" or die "Cannot open $out for 
+write :$!";
    foreach $server (@servers){ 
        $in="$dir1/$server\.txt";
        open IN,"$in" or next;
        @input=<IN>;
        chomp @input;
        foreach (@input){
            if (/\.$type/i){
                $kbytes = (stat)[7]/1000; #GETS THE 9TH ELEMENT OF fil
+e STAT - THE SIZE IN BYTES
                $total=$total+$kbytes;
                print OUT "$_\t$kbytes KB\n";
            }
        }
        close $in;
    }
    $mbytes=$total/1000;
    print OUT "\n\nTotal: $mbytes MB\n";
    close $out;
    print "Finished $type...\n";
}

Thanks again, everyone.
