Thanks Bruce...Your solution was good. But unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on RH Linux 7.2 and RHAS3.0 which is what I need.
Went though its documentation.....Seemed like the blksize field of the stat structure is not very portable...which is what the Linux failures proves...

Simply find a file in the appropriate file system (the mount point will
work or "." if naught else) and call "stat" on it. Element 11 of the array
returned is the block size of the file system.
$size = (stat ".")[11];
