Maybe it's time consider refactoring this via CPAN modules? For comparison, the following achieves a similar result, using File::Find::Rule and Filesys::DiskUsage:

#/usr/bin/perl
use warnings; use strict;

use Filesys::DiskUsage qw/du/;
use File::Find::Rule;
use YAML;

my $rule = File::Find::Rule->new;
$rule->directory();
$rule->not($rule->new->name( qr/^.*Maildir.*(cur|new|courierimapkeywor
+ds)$/));
my @dirs = $rule->in('.');
warn "dirs=@dirs";

my %sizes = du( {
         'make-hash' => 1,
         'human-readble' => 1,
        } ,  @dirs);
 
print YAML::Dump(\%sizes);

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
