Re^2: How to find code written by smart people

Why not use File::Path?

$ ls foo
ls: foo: No such file or directory
$ perl -MFile::Path -e 'mkpath "foo/bar/baz"'
$ ls -d foo/bar/baz
foo/bar/baz/

Update: Err, forget it. It's already been pointed out.

Because of this line in File::Path's POD: It returns a list of all directories (including intermediates, determined using the Unix '/' separator) created. That raises a concern that I'd have to pass `mkpath` a UNIX-style path -- the snippet I posted will accept any form supported by File::Spec::Functions. I like that better. <–radiant.matrix–> A collection of thoughts and links from the minds of geeks The Code that can be seen is not the true Code I haven't found a problem yet that can't be solved by a well-placed trebuchet	[reply] [d/l]
