Perl script help on adding variables in a loop

Hello Experts,

I need your help. I'm trying to write a Perl script which will get me the disk free space information in a solaris machine. But I'm stuck. Basically i would like to know the way for adding a particular variable cumulatively in a foreach loop. Below given is the portion of my code (full program attached in as file), where in a foreach loop, I'm matching some pattern from prtvtoc output of each disk and trying to extract a value in a variable $sect_cnt and then i want to do a cumulative addition of this variable, by which i can find the number of free sector available in the disk. Could you please help me in this?

foreach(@prtres)
        {
                if($_ =~ m/^[^\*]/)
                {
                 ($somethg, $slce, $tag, $flags, $first_sect, $sect_cnt, $Lst_sect, $mntdir)=split /\s+/, $_;
                        print "$dsknum[$i]:$_", "\n";
                        print $sect_cnt += $sect_cnt, "\n";
                }
        }
 $i++;
}


Thanks,
Ashok

Thanks Adam, I will try to implement your logic and let you know.
I'm not sure if the info by prtvtoc is the same, but you might want to look at these modules:

Filesys::Df:
    http://search.cpan.org/~iguthrie/Filesys-Df-0.92/Df.pm

Filesys::DiskSpace:
    http://search.cpan.org/~ftassin/Filesys-DiskSpace-0.05/lib/Filesys/DiskSpace.pm
Adam, I could use your addition logic and make it working for me. I need one more help.
Is it possible to extract the value of $sect_cnt variable, when $slce is 2 (you can see this in second column under Slice heading) and then subtract this value from $sect_cnt_cum.

Basically, I'm trying to get the value of "Total number of Sectors availabe" - "Total number of sectors used"

Sorry forgot to attached the modified code
