I am trying to understand why this piece of code is not creating the directory, which should be created C:/Desktop/$website$old_ip$TIMESTAMP. I also would like to know how I can place a dot between the vars C:/Desktop/$website.$old_ip.$TIMESTAMP.
use strict; use warnings; use diagnostics; use autodie; use File::Spec; use File::Path qw( make_path remove_tree ); #Set command line arguments my ($website, $old_ip, $new_ip) = @ARGV; #Set vars my $TIMESTAMP = strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M", localtime); + my $volume = 'C:/'; + my $ARCHIVE = File::Spec->catpath($volume, qw(Desktop), $websit +e, $old_ip, $TIMESTAMP); my @WEBSITES = qw( three five calnet-test ); my $ARCHIVE = File::Spec->catpath($volume, qw(Desktop), $website, $ol +d_ip, $TIMESTAMP); #Creates the new dir in archive sub initialize { make_path ($ARCHIVE); return; } initialize;
