you use 'largest' there. assuming that isn't ever set, this compares
bytes to undef. this would have been detected if you had enabled
warnings. this is why we always say to make your code warnings
clean. there is a reason for this!
p> print "$bytes is larger than $sizes{$ext}->{largest_size}\n";
p> $sizes{$ext}->{largest_size} = $bytes;
and 'largest_size' in those two lines.
