Hi borodache,

as a starting point, you might want to take a look at the following very basic subroutine which recursively traverses the subdirectory tree:

sub traverse_dir { my $dir = shift; my @entries = glob "$dir/*"; for my $entry (@entries) { if (-f $entry) { print "$entry:", -s $entry, "\n"; } elsif (-d $entry) { traverse_dir($entry); } else # perhaps do something for entries which are neither files + nor subdirectories, if that sort of thing exists } } } traverse_dir ".";
Many things would need to be added: management of symbolic links in accordance with your needs, adding accumulators for cumulative size of directories, etc.

Also note that I have used the -d, -f and -s file test operators for simplicity, but in a real program, I would probably use the stat (and possibly lstat) built-in function instead. Also, you might want to replace the glob function call by a opendir and readdir combination, together with appropriate calls to grep to get rid of entries such as . and .. (which are skipped by glob).

Update: see To glob or not to glob for a discussion of glob and some of its advantages and disadvantages.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
