From the POD: NAME File::Path - create or remove directory trees SYNOPSIS use File::Path; mkpath(['/foo/bar/baz', 'blurfl/quux'], 1, 0711); rmtree(['foo/bar/baz', 'blurfl/quux'], 1, 1); DESCRIPTION The "mkpath" function provides a convenient way to create directories, even if your "mkdir" kernel call won't create more than one level of directory at a time.
