After a few trials, I was able to do what I want using the file::find module and a few regex. The below code gives me the number files fore each unique extentions in a directory.
Now I am trying to find the cumulative sizes of each type of file in the directory. For example if there are 50 Html files, I am trying to find the sum of the size of all 50 HTML files and likewise for every extention that my array @exts contains.
I tried using file::find::rule->..->name( foreach @ext ) to parse through and find the size, but couldnt get it right. Could someone pls guide?thanks

foreach my $name (sort {$counts{$a} <=> $counts{$b}} keys %counts) {
