FILE::PATH question

Dear Monks,

I met a problem when using modules FILE::PATH.

I try the code in perldoc as follow

 #!/bin/perl 
use strict; 
use warnings; 
use File::Path qw(make_path remove_tree);

make_path("E:\\Project\\Training Project\\Learning Perl\\modules\\FILE
+\\Temp\\temp1"); 
[download]

Error occurred when compile

"make_path" is not exported by the File::Path module

"remove_tree" is not exported by the File::Path module

My OS is windows and the Perl is ActivePerl5.10

Could you help me? thanks!

You might want to try `use File::Path qw(mkpath rmtree);` At least that are the names exported by Path.pm on my system...	[reply] [d/l]

Perhaps you're using the wrong File::Path. What is the output of the following: `use strict; use warnings; use File::Path; use Data::Dumper; warn File::Path->VERSION; warn Dumper \%INC;` [download] Update: note that `make_path` and `remove_tree` are available only since File::Path version 2.07	[reply] [d/l] [select]

From File::Path VERSION 2.08, the SYNOPSIS section: `# legacy (interface promoted before v2.00) mkpath('/foo/bar/baz'); mkpath('/foo/bar/baz', 1, 0711); mkpath(['/foo/bar/baz', 'blurfl/quux'], 1, 0711); rmtree('foo/bar/baz', 1, 1); rmtree(['foo/bar/baz', 'blurfl/quux'], 1, 1); # legacy (interface promoted before v2.06) mkpath('foo/bar/baz', '/zug/zwang', { verbose => 1, mode => 0711 + }); rmtree('foo/bar/baz', '/zug/zwang', { verbose => 1, mode => 0711 + });` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

You want `use File::Path 2.07 qw( make_path remove_tree ); make_path("...");` [download] or `use File::Path qw( mkpath rmtree ); mkpath("...");` [download] The first will provide a better error message if the desired module is not available. `$ perl -e'use File::Path 2.07 qw( make_path remove_tree );' File::Path version 2.07 required--this is only version 2.04 at -e line + 1. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.` [download] The second is backwards compatible.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thank you all, My File:Path version is 2.04 So I come to the "mkpath" and "rmtree" prototype. My further question is how to update the module? I try the perl package manager, but it doesn't update the FILE::PATH	[reply]

I ran into this problem too, a script I had written using File::Path suddenly stopped working. The problem turned out to be the glibc libraries had been updated since I had installed the Perl package so I need to re-compile and install the package.	[reply]

File::Path is a pure-perl module, so it shouldn't depend on anything gcc :) But I too have run into trouble using mingw gcc 4.5.2 toolchain on win32, i can't launch the perl debugger :)	[reply]
