This is one of those "it depends what you mean" questions, i.e. you haven't really given us enough information. What do you mean by "directory size"? Number of files, number of bytes in files, number of disk blocks, something else, also are sub-directories to be included? Also how some of these are determined can be platform specific. How can you access the remote server to get this information? FTP, Telnet, SSH, something else? Perl has modules that can help with most of that, that you can download from the ppm archive, if you are lucky, or CPAN in any event. The answers to the above questions should give you a better clue of what to search the archive for than I can from the information you provided.
