Gosh, kevbot, I try to be done making mistakes for one thread, so I hope that we can address this last one. Indeed, in my write-up I did conflate perl's mkdir with Path::Tiny's mkpath method. When one uses the latter in list context, one can build subsequent paths with it:

my @dirs = path( $current, $to, $ts, $base_dir )->mkpath; say "dirs are @dirs"; foreach my $pchild ( $pop_from->children ) { my $base = $pchild->basename; say "base is $base"; my $to_name = path( @dirs, $base );

I didn't find all that many examples for using Path::Tiny out there, so let's hope that others get something out of this.
