Welcome to the Monastery, davebock!

I can get it to work after making a couple of slight changes (moving the oct() call to inside of the call to make_path(), and fixing your compile-time errors). First, replace:

    my $usedMode = oct($Mode);

[download]

with:

    my $usedMode = $mode;

[download]

then, replace:

    make_path( $dirPathName, { mode => $usedMode, error => \$err ) );

[download]

with:

    make_path( $dirPathName, { mode => oct($usedMode), error => \$err 
+} );

[download]

Note that you don't need the intermediary $usedMode variable... it can be refactored out, and you can simply use $mode instead.
