Try stat(). It is a built-in function. >From perldoc -f stat:
stat FILEHANDLE stat EXPR stat Returns a 13-element list giving the status info for a file, either the file opened via FILEHANDLE, or named by EXPR. If EXPR is omitted, it stats "$_". Returns a null list if the stat fails. Typically used as follows: ($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid,$rdev,$size, $atime,$mtime,$ctime,$blksize,$blocks) = stat($filename); Rob -----Original Message----- From: Chinku Simon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 20, 2003 5:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How do you find out the size of a file Hi, I have a requirement to find out the size of a file existing in an NTFS file system.
