Having read the discussion at recursive mkdir I decided to post this. I don't know who wrote it - it may have been me as it looks like code I could have written but I don't recall :-S

It exports mkdir which will create all nonexistent directories in the path provided.

package Mkdir;

use base qw(Exporter);
use strict;
use subs 'mkdir';
use warnings;

our @EXPORT = qw(mkdir);

sub mkdir {
    my $path = shift;
    my $mode = shift || '0777';
    my $d = '';
    for (split/[\\\/]/,$path) {
        $d .= $_.'/';
        -d $d || CORE::mkdir($d,$mode) || return
    }
    1;
}

1;
