Very new to perl, but good with a few other programming languages. I have a text file with names in it. I am trying to build a folder for each name in the text file. Here is what I have so far:

 #!/usr/local/bin/perl
 open (MYFILE, 'C:\Users\64R92\perl\cmd\site_list.txt');
 while (<MYFILE>) {
     chomp;
     $line = $_;
     $directory = 
     mkdir("$line") || die "Unable to create directory <$!>\n";
     print "$_\n";
 }
 close (MYFILE);

When I run this, it puts the new folder on my desktop. I'd like to put it in 'C:\Users\64R92\perl\cmd\', the same place where I'm reading the text file from. I've searched all over the web and can't find how to name that per entry and nothing I've tried has worked. Thanks in advance.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
