Well, all the variables/values should already be there for you to craft an appropriate message. have you read the code and understood it? If so, then I would hope that you would have the information to acheive this.

Sizes reported by du differ by installation, but you should get KB by using the -k flag, or there may be other options available to you. Check the manual page.

Subdirectoriesare being explicitly rolled into the parent directory with -s Again, check your man page for any other variations that might be available. If you want all sub-directories then this vastly increases the risk that it will go seriously SmiliewildSmilie if a user creates or deletes a directory. Probably best to give a top level report and instruct users how to check subdirectory usage themselves.

Have you considered enforcing some sort of quota? Various operating systems allow you to set a quota. Another way would be to have a report run each day that reports anything large, but that will probably lead to manual checking I'm afriad.



I hope that this helps,

NAME
Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable::Folder - Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable::Folder object SYNOPSIS
use Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable; my $document=Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable->new; my $folder=$document->Folder(name=>"My Folder"); DESCRIPTION
Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable::Folder is a Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable::Base with a few other methods. USAGE
my $folder=$document->Folder(); #add folder to $document my $subfolder=$folder->Folder(); #add folder to $folder METHODS
initialize We overide the default "initialize" method in order to append the "plugins" method from Module::Pluggable on to the packages list of the Method::Autoload package. The "packages" property is what is needed by Method::Autoload package. The "plugins" method is what is provided by Module::Pluggable. So, the Folder package now has available to it every method in the "Plugins" folder at runtime. Folder Constructs a new Folder object and appends it to the parent folder object. Returns the object reference if you need to make any setting changes after construction. my $folder=$folder->Folder(name=>"My Folder"); $folder->Folder(name=>"My Folder"); NetworkLink Constructs a new NetworkLink object and appends it to the parent folder object. Returns the object reference if you need to make any setting changes after construction. $folder->NetworkLink(name=>"My NetworkLink", url=>"./anotherdoc.kml"); LookAt Constructs a new LookAt object and returns the object reference to assign to other object "lookat" properties. $document->LookAt( latitude => $lat, #decimal degrees longitude => $lon, #decimal degrees range => $range, #meters tilt => $tilt, #decimal degrees from veritical heading => $header, #decimal degrees from North ); type Returns the object type. my $type=$folder->type; node data Pushes arguments onto data array and returns an array or reference that holds folder object content. This is a list of objects that supports a type and structure method. my $data=$folder->data; my @data=$folder->data; $folder->data($placemark); open BUGS
