How about File::Path? Comes with 5.6.1... 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.  "mkpath"
       takes three arguments....

HTH, HAND!
