It will return you a printable string which is more readable by humans than a simple bytecount. . For example: use Format::Human::Bytes; $readable = Format::Human::Bytes::base2($bytecount[,$decimals]); It will convert in base 2 format. . $readable = Format::Human::Bytes::base10($bytecount[,$decimals]); It will convert in base 10 format. . Another way is to create constructor for example: . $fhb = Format::Human::Bytes->new(); $readable = $fhb->base2($bytecount[,$decimals]); $readable = $fhb->base10($bytecount[,$decimals]);
