How do I get the size of a file in megabytes using Perl?
I want to get the size of a file on disk in megabytes. Using the -s operator gives me the size in bytes, but I'm going to assume that then diving this by a magic number is a bad idea: my $size_in_mb = (-s $fh) / (1024 * 1024); Should I just use a read-only variable to define 1024 or is there a programmatic way to obtain the size of a...

Any way to analyze the size of a SWF built in Flex?
I have a Flex application that seems larger than it should be. There is a lot of code in it, but not a lot of assets and it just seems large, but I'm not sure how to go about figuring out where the space is going. I know about the –link-report option, but it only gives the sizes of externally linked library classes. I'm very interested ...

Optimize ABCpdf file size
We've got a web system that generates dynamic pdf files with ABCpdf. While it works... okay, the file sizes are a little large. For example, this morning as a test I generated a 140+ page file with lots of little graphics (actually, the same six little images repeated over and over.)

Any suggestions for shrinking a PDF file?
We've got a .net 2.0 web system that dynamically builds pdf files. Some of these files can get pretty large - 12MB+. While processing time isn't a factor, really, the size of the files to be downloaded is in some cases. For the moment, let's assume that our B-grade pdf library is already making the smallest files that it knows how. ...
