in reply to Phantom directories created using mkdir

To get a better understanding of your question, what do you mean by "the occasions that $scalar wasn't available"?

Do you mean that $scalar was empty or undef or not yet existing or not in this scope or ... ?

    I mean that $scalar was undefined. This was actually due to a faulty line of code where $scalar wasn't being passed properly. I fixed that problem but left the conditional in place as insurance!
