Hello monks,

EDIT: So I fixed my problem with the command using the wrong module it turns out that I just used some bad code. Now my question is just is there some way to use the rput command recursively so that it copies the folders into non existent folders like you would use the mkpath command?

I use the Net::SFTP::Foreign::Backend::Net_SSH2 backend to connect to my sftp server.

Is there some way to copy files into folders that don't exist and just create the folders that way? So It would look something like this if I wanted to copy a file to /root/b/c/a/s/d/s and only /root exists it would create the folders b, c, a, s, d, and s.

This is the relevant code: 

if ($up_dir_local && $up_dir_remote) {
print "Preparing to upload folder $up_dir_local to $up_dir_remote \n";
sleep 3;
if ($sftp->rput($up_dir_local, $up_dir_remote)){
print "The directory \"$up_dir_local\" was uploaded to \"$up_dir_remot
+e\"";
} else {
print "\"$up_dir_local\" or \"$up_dir_remote\" could not be found. Che
+ck your path!";
}
}

FIXED

I figured I could use mkpath somehow and incorporate it into the rput command. But whenever I use the mkpath command it try's to load from Net::SSH2::SFTP instead of Net::SFTP::Foreign. Since Net::SSH2::SFTP does not have this command it can't load mkpath. Is there a way to define from which module to load the command?
