I thought about using lstat to get the size of a file for file
comparisons. I see that lstat always returns a list of thirteen values.
The references I find appear to require assignment of those 13 values
to variables, even though I only want to use one.
Do I really have to put
($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid,$rdev,$size,
$atime,$mtime,$ctime,$blksize,$blocks)
= lstat($filename);
Just to get the $size variable populated with the file size?
My ultimate goal is to check the size of huge files copied to a folder.
Once I get the $size to come back the same three times in a row,
indicating the file is all there, then I can move on with playing with
the file.
Thanks,
Michael
