You already mentioned in the CB that you're trying to use File::Find for that solution, and I really recommend it. The below skeleton should get you closer to your solution:

use strict;
use File::Find;

my $limit = 4 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024;

my @source_directories = qw(
);

my @files;

File::Find::find( sub { push @files, $File::Find::name }, @source_dire
+ctories );

my $total;
my $basename = "part-";
my $count = 1;
my $dirname = $basename . $count;

for my $file (@files) {
    my $size = -s $file;
    if ($total + $size > $limit) {
        $total = 0;
        $count++;
        $dirname = $basename . $count;
        print "# 4GB Limit reached, starting new volume $dirname";
    };
    print "$file => $dirname/$file\n";
};
