This is driving me nuts. Let's say I have this string: 
my $directory = "/home/user/files/personal/addresses";

I need to make that directory tree on another machine. I've played around with all kinds of stuff, and I can easily pop off the file name. But I'm getting stuck b/c you can't just say... 
mkdir /home/user/file/personal

[download]
...and expect it to make it unless the previous directory is there. Not w/ unix anyway. If I knew the subdirectories would only go 3-4 layers deep, it wouldn't be a problem, but they could go on forever, so I need a more dynamic solution than what I've come up with. So, I'm hoping there's a module, or just something I'm missing that could help out. I found Find::File which made my life easier in gathering that info. Now I'm looking for a simpler way out of writing the directories.
