[the "used" perl script here]

I'm a beginner with Perl, so forgive me!

I tried the "used" script and it doesn't work for me. The error seems
to be in these two lines:

>	    ($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid,$rdev,$size,
>	     $atime,$mtime,$ctime,$blksize,$blocks) = lstat($_);

When I run this through the debugger (perl -d) all the variables get
defined, except "$blksize" and "$blocks", which appear to be empty
(nothing shows in the "p" command). Of course, the sum of blocks reported
will then be 0 (zero) for all directories. Not very useful.

This was with Perl patchlevel 15 on a 3B2 running System V 3.2. Standard
cc used for compile (no shared libraries).

Is this a bug maybe?
