#!/usr/bin/perl --

my $goner = dir('temp3k');
my $gonee = dir( $goner, 'ro/sham/bo' );

$gonee->rmtree( { verbose => 1 } );
$gonee->mkpath( { verbose => 0 } );
$goner->rmtree( { verbose => 1 } );

I imagine the behaviour you're seeing because dir() is a blessed hash

$ perl -le " use Data::Dump; use Path::Class; dd( dir( ) );
bless({ dirs => ["."], file_spec_class => undef, volume => "" }, "Path
+::Class::Dir")
[download]

And File::Paths checks to see if its a hash and it is, so its used as \%opt
