Perl Monks,

I have this problem and please help me solve it.

Suppose i have 2 variables 

$dir1 = "c:\\reports\\temp1\\temp2";
$dir2 = "c:\\output";

[download]
my script has to do a pattern match to extract everything after c:\\reports in $dir1 and then i should be able to create a similar directory structure in 
c:\\output i.e c:\\output\\temp1\\temp2.

[download]
How do i go about extracting it this way and how can i create directories recursively?? I should be able to do a pattern match for any given generic value.

Please please help me!

Considered by jbrugger: delete, seems to me it's a dup of Directory operations
Unconsidered by Arunbear: keep (and edit) votes prevented reaping; Keep/Edit/Delete: 11/1/18
