Hello Monks,
I am attempting to create a directory from UNIX using a SAMBA mount to windows box. I have a parent script which calls a child script, the parent script creates the directory just fine.
However the second script which is a child process, does the exact same thing however when passed in it is given a new name for the directory that is to be created. Oddly enough it did not create the directory nor did it die. It appears is if perl thinks everything worked fine.
Has anyone experienced this before? Any help would be wonderful
Please find the code below.
Script 1
<code>
use strict;
use File::Path;
my $dirStr = '/Path/To/Directory/Dir1';
unless (-d $dirStr){
mkpath ($dirStr, 1, 0777) or die("Directory $dirStr does not exist and cannont be created");
print "Makeing First Dir from Parent Script\n";
my $command = "perl /usr/local/users/myuser/createdir2.pl";
open(TEST, "|$command");
}
<code>
Script 2 "createdir2.pl"
<code>
use strict;
use File::Path;
my $dirStr1 = '/Path/To/New/Directory/Dir2';
unless (-d $dirStr1){
mkpath ($dirStr1, 1, 0777) or die("Directory $dirStr1 does not exist and cannont be created");
print "Makeing Second Dir from Child Process\n";
}
<code>
Thanks in advance
