Python, Perl: Script to Check HTML File Size

The following script takes a directory and print all the sizes of html files, counting the sizes of inline images.

This script is useful in making sure that HTML file are under certain size. This is useful because web visitors with slow connection may take a long time to load HTML files with lots of inline images.

Note that in some web browsers or web development tools, they can calculate the size of a web page. The script is useful because it does to all files in a dir at once. Useful for static websites such as documentation.
