NAME

Tie::DiskUsage - Tie disk-usage to an hash

SYNOPSIS

require Tie::DiskUsage;

tie %usage, 'Tie::DiskUsage', '/var', '-h';
print $usage{'/var/log'};
untie %usage;

DESCRIPTION

Tie::DiskUsage ties the disk-usage, which is gathered from the output of du, to an hash. If the path to perform the du-command on is being omitted, the current working directory will be examined; optional arguments to du may be passed subsequently.

By default the location of the du-command is to be assumed in /usr/bin/du; if du cannot be found to exist there, File::Which will attempt to gather its former location.

The default path to du may be overriden by setting $Tie::DiskUsage::$DU_BIN.
