[SPAM] - [ale] "use of uninitialized value" error in Perl program ? - Bayesian Filter detected spam

[Yu, Jerry]

stat($dir/$file) at line 28 failed, as nothing meanful was assigned to $file
prior to the call to stat(). Therefore, $size was set to 'uninitialized
value' at line 28, due to failed 'stat' call.

# I don't know Perl at all, but am trying to write a small 
# program to..... 
# aggregate files from one dir to a second directory for the purpose of 
# burning a CD, so the block of files size moved to the new dir will be 
# ~650MB.
# 
# I am getting the error "use of uninitialized value" in line 29.
# 
# I include the source as an attachment.
# 
# I'm assuming coding subroutines and calling them with the necessary 
# variables would work, but am hoping for something quicker and 
# certainly 
# dirtier. I'm not interested in being a Perl programmer, 
# rather burning 
# some CDs and have merely shot in the dark hoping for a hit, and have 
# failed, of course   :-)
# 
# But, hopefully a competent programmer can take these 
# scattered bones and 
# quickly suggest a more painless remedy than learning Perl, 
# for which I 
# don't have time.
# 
# Appreciatively,
