In Unix; the Perl line of code you need is:
system("/usr/bin/du -ks $directory_name");
The size is in Kilobytes and it is recursive.
I am not sure about NT.

Subject: [Perl-unix-users] Directory size
I need to determine the size of a directory with potentially hundreds of
thousand of files. Ideally needs to work on both nt and unix. Should be
easy but I am struggling. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Nikko
