Re: Recursive directories

File::Path->make_path is used to make a path, so you should define your $path before. If you try:

use File::Path 'make_path';
$path = '/';
File::Path->make_path($path);
chdir $path or die "Cannot chdir: $!";

it will work and it does for me

To get the path you can do something like:

use File::Path 'make_path';
use Cwd;
$path = Cwd::getcwd;
File::Path->make_path($path);
chdir $path or die "Cannon chdir: $!";
print $path. "\n":

Hi,

be careful. You probably get what you don't want. Jenda explained it very nice. When you do the following assuming you have the correct rights:

use File::Path 'make_path';
File::Path->make_path('huhu');

you create two directories: File::Path and huhu. Try it with:

File::Path->make_path('huhu', { verbose => 1});

after removing the newly created directories in you test cwd.

Yes, you are right, it indeed created in a strage way two folders and is not what I meant as I didn't want the directory File::Path. Good to know, thank you for your point!
