Filesys::Statvfs provides an interface between Perl and the statvfs() system call. Filesys::Df uses Filesys::Statvfs to obtain filesystem statistics then creates additional filesystem information such as percent full, user and superuser differentials, etc. Filesys::Df will also let you specify the block size for the values you wish to see. The default block size output is 1024 bytes per block. So if you want to get the size in bytes just take the block size and * it by 1024. WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Filesys-Statvfs_Statfs_Df/
