Try using the -p option for mkdir. This will create the whole directory tree for you.

Another issue: you should check for the presence of ARGV's before you actually do anything with them:

die &USAGE unless @ARGV == 1;  # yes, put it in a sub
# ...
my $date    = $ARGV[0];
my $out_dir = "$home_dir/flowstats/configs/$date";

You could think about using `File::Path` rather than `mkdir -p` which is less than fully portable. `-- I knock my pate and fancy wit will come Knock as I please, there's no one at home a pontiff paraphrased` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
