I have to get a script working by tomorrow afternoon that involves simply getting a file size,I've looked on the net, and I have 4 CGI/Perl books,but all I found was
$size = -s "$filename";
and someone eluded to:
$size = (stat("$filename"))[7];
but when I run this, and print out to file it's just blank between the parenthesis.
print OUTFILE "($size)";
So is there any other way to get a file's size, and how come its blank and I don't get an error or some indication that something is wrong? Thanks so much!

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).
