You want

use File::Path 2.07 qw( make_path remove_tree );
make_path("...");
[download]

or

use File::Path qw( mkpath rmtree );
mkpath("...");
[download]

The first will provide a better error message if the desired module is not available.

$ perl -e'use File::Path 2.07 qw( make_path remove_tree );'
File::Path version 2.07 required--this is only version 2.04 at -e line
+ 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.
[download]

The second is backwards compatible.
