There's an ls2xml script floating around, and David Lee's xmlsh may be
able to do it too, in both cases by creating an auxilliary XML file
containing the file sizes. Or write a short program to do it, depending
on your operating environment (Linux, VMS, Solaris, Microsoft Windows
3.11, etc.)
Here's a small Java application that generates an XML listing of a
given directory:
http://code.google.com/p/xml-dir-listing/
It works flawlessly in my experience.
If each filename is unique (if no two files in different directories
have the same name) you can retrieve the size of each file with a key
on the 'file' element / 'name' attribute of the generated XML dir.
