Use File::Find and from it's examples you should be able to do all that you need from within Perl.
Wags ;) -----Original Message----- From: Rajendra Babu, Praveen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, December 29, 2002 16:08 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Directory and its sub-directory disk usage: Windows '98 Hi All, This is in Windows '98. I am writing a script to find the entire directory space(i.e. including sub-directories) occupied from an input directory name. Eg. If at the command prompt I give something like, "perl dir_size.pl h:\raps\test\prajendr", the output should be the entire disk space occupied by the directory "prajendr" and all its sub-directories. The one least option I am looking at is "dir /s" and re-directing it to a file and then manipulating the same. Is there a better way in Windows ?!
