Re: how to create the path automatically

I don't understand why you need to create an object and call to subs/methods before actually calling mkpath. What's wrong with simply writing:

use File::Path qw(mkpath);
my $path = 'path/to/create';
mkpath($path) unless -e $path;

`mkpath($path) unless -e $path;` The `unless` clause is not necessary here. Further, this would die if the path can't be created, so unless the OP wants this exception to propagate, it's maybe better written as `eval { mkpath($path) }; if($@) { ... }` [download] -- Ronald Fischer <ynnor@mm.st>	[reply] [d/l] [select]
