    Using the search-tastic File::Find::Rule we can do this quite simply
    use File::Find::Rule; print "$_\n" for find(directory => in => $ENV{HOME});
    See. the File::Find::Rule docs for more info.

    A lot depends on your needs. If this was a throw away script, You could do something ugly like:

    system('ls -Rl ~| grep ^d');

    You could look at File::Find and the -d function

    If you couldn't figure out File::Find, you could do something like this:

    my $DIE_MSG="FATAL ERROR"; sub get_bytes_in_file_list { my @files = @_; my $size=0; foreach my $file (@files) { die "can't read $file $DIE_MSG" if ( !-r $file ); if ( -d $file ) { opendir( DH, $file ) or die "$! bad open directory $file $DIE_MSG\n"; my @sub_files = map { "$file/$_"; } grep { $_ ne '.' && $_ ne '..'; } readdir(DH); closedir(DH) or die "$! couldn't close dir:$file\n$DIE_MSG +"; $size += get_bytes_in_file_list(@sub_files) if (@sub_files) # don't check empty dir; } else { $size += ( stat($file) )[7]; } } return $size; }
