Not one that I have found.  And:
perl returns no value for block size and blocks on Activestate Perl
5.8.4 (on win32).

C:\temp>echo "Hello World!" >hello
C:\temp>perl -e "my $i=0; print map { $i++.\"\t$_\n\" } stat 'hello'"

Python doesn't seem to provide it either
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-stat.html

Should parrot skip it altogether, too?
