INSTALL TO INSTALL RUN: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install During the 'make test', test.pl will try to test with '/' and then open test.pl in the current directory and use that for the filehandle test. Once installed, run 'perldoc Filesys::Statvfs' for more information. If you have any problems or questions please email me at IGuthrie@aol.com with "Filesys::Statvfs" in the subject line. If you run into a build problem, please include the output of the install commands, the version of Perl you are using (perl -v), and what operating system you are using. Module Documentation: Filesys::Statvfs - Perl extension for statvfs() and fstatvfs() SYNOPSIS use Filesys::Statvfs; my($bsize, $frsize, $blocks, $bfree, $bavail, $files, $ffree, $favail, $flag, $namemax) = statvfs("/tmp"); #### Pass an open filehandle. Verify that fileno() returns a defined #### value. If you pass undef to fstatvfs you will get unexpected results my $fd = fileno(FILE_HANDLE); if(defined($fd)) { ($bsize, $frsize, $blocks, $bfree, $bavail, $files, $ffree, $favail, $flag, $namemax) = fstatvfs($fd); } DESCRIPTION Interface for statvfs() and fstatvfs() Unless you need access to the bsize, flag, and namemax values, you should probably look at using Filesys::DfPortable or Filesys::Df instead. They will generally provide you with more functionality and portability. The module should work with all flavors of Unix that implement the statvfs() and fstatvfs() calls. This would include Linux, *BSD, HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, Mac OS X, Irix, Cygwin, etc ... The statvfs() and fstatvfs() functions will return a list of values, or will return undef and set $! if there was an error. The values returned are described in the statvfs/fstatvfs header or the statvfs()/fstatvfs() man page. The module assumes that if you have statvfs(), fstatvfs() will also be available.
