$device_size is a global variable that is set by the shell routine
diskandsize. So no $_ is needed in perl (RTF Perl M). If it does not
work debug your installation process setting "set -xv" in rcS_fai
(much, much output).

I think you missunderstood the Perl code, but if this is really a bug,
mail again.
