For the recursive mkpath solution: Of course reading the docs helps.
use strict; use warnings; use File::Path; my $name = shift; my $branch = shift; my $depth = shift; # We really should be checking arguments # Bad things happen if $branch or $depth is 0 print "Creating directory ",$name," with ", $branch, " branches to the depth of ", $depth, "\n"; my $aref = MkTree($name, $branch, $depth, [] ); foreach my $path ( @$aref ) { print $path, "\n"; } mkpath($aref, 1, 0777); exit; sub MkTree { my ($name, $branch, $depth, $aref) = @_; my $start = "a"; foreach my $pos (1..$branch) { my $let = chr(ord($start) + $pos - 1); if ( $depth == 1 ) { push(@$aref, join('/', $name, $let) ); } else { MkTree( join('/', $name, $let), $branch, $depth-1, $aref); } } return $aref; }
