Cool site. Though I did notice the redundant rpmsize util
http://www.fourmilab.ch/webtools/rpmsize/
which seems exactly equivalent to:
rpm -q -a --queryformat '%10{SIZE}\t%{NAME}\n' | sort -k1,1n
Also he writes stuff in Perl :-)

Shell loops

for item in 1 2 3 4; do          while read line; do
     echo "item=$item"                echo "line=$line"
done                             done

Note you can pipe into and out of loops also
but be wary as they're run in a subshell so
any change in environment variables are local
to the loop.
