saying
adding a die statement makes it reture "Died at sendfile.pl line 28"...
is a little ambiguous. did you do this? 
27 :        } elsif(-d "$ARGV[0]") {
28 :             die;
29 : print "Copying path to $Single_User_Directory - ";
30 :              mkpath([$ARGV[0], $Single_User_Directory], 1, 0711);

or this 
27 :        } elsif(-d "$ARGV[0]") {
28 :            print "Copying path to $Single_User_Directory - " || d
+ie;
29 :            mkpath([$ARGV[0], $Single_User_Directory], 1, 0711);

? Although you list line 28 as the dying line that doesn't make sense with the original listing... I suppose you have 
mkpath([$ARGV[0], $Single_User_Directory], 1, 0711) or die;

try something more verbose : 
mkpath([$ARGV[0], $Single_User_Directory], 1, 0711) or die "Unable to 
+mkpath!!! perl reports $! ---;

the secret is $! -- without it, you're rendering your dies useless.
