Use module File::Find along with -d filename ( if true then directory ) I
believe the doc accompanying File::Find should be sufficient to get you started, but
if problems, come back to the list.
Wags ;)

Subject: windows - how do I detect file vs directory and then traverse
Hi,
My goal is to find all the directories on my computer and sort them
by size order as my PC harddrive is rapidly filling up and I am sure I have
some junk on it taking up boatloads of space.
I know I have to use stat() to get the file size (after I open it). My
questions are:
1-Has anybody done this, i.e. written a perl program to study harddrive
and find largest files/largest directories?
2-How do I tell if an item is a file or a directory via stat or something else?
Thanks,
Joe
