Yes, I'm on Linux. Sorry, this is really embarrassing but I'm still not using the command properly, dear me :( Now I did

#/bin/perl/

use strict;
use warnings;

use File::Path qw(make_path);

make_path("/one/two");

[download]

In order to test for now, I try to create the path /one/two just in the current directory but I get the error "mkdir /one: Permission denied at test.pl line 8"

Embarrassing :( What's happening? Do I need to specify the full path to the working directory, and use the command as make_path("/full/path/to/current/directory/one/two")? It's a bit scary as I'm worried this will delete a file accidentally or something catastrophic like that.
