To find the size of a file you can use:
my $size = -s $file;
The -X file tests are documented here.
You could also use the core module File::stat
which provides dev, ino, mode, nlink, uid, gid, rdev, size, atime, mtime, ctime, blksize, and block. I tend to find this
easier than remembering what order
stat
returns things.
use File::stat;
my $st = stat($file);
my $size = $st->size;

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).
