Recursive directories

rustic has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello, I have an unexpected behavior while doing :

use File::Path 'make_path';
File::Path->make_path($path);
chdir $path or die "Cannot chdir: $!";
[download]

What happens here is that a "File::Path" directory is created inside each new directory. If I omit the chdir part, it does behave correctly i.e. an empty new directory.
Is this somehow wrong ? The perldoc File::Path gives me:

VERSION
    This document describes version 2.08 of File::Path, released 2009-
+10-04.
[download]

According to the same perldoc there's a bug report page for it, but I want to discuss it here first.
