Oops!!
Forgot to also mention: If you're just generally talking about getting sizes 
of files in a directory, I'd use opendir()/readdir()/closedir() to read the 
directory, and -s or stat() to get the size of the files. ^_^

ie; Don't call or rely on external programs when you can do it more 
efficiently in Perl itself...
