Hi, I have a piece of code, which reads a table and fetches a value which is nothing but the path "$P2KTMP/data". I need to write o/p data to that particular path, but my code is failing to do so. Someone please help to fix this :( 

        my $sysParmSQL = "select sys_vale from system_data where sys_n
+ame = 'OUT_DIR'";
        my $consolidatedPath = $dbh->selectrow_array($sysParmSQL,undef
+);
        if($consolidatedPath)
        {
            $outputPath = $consolidatedPath;

            if ( -d $outputPath )  ==> the path exists but it is faili
+ng here and trying to go to else block
            {
            } 
            else 
            {
                print " Directory not found, Creating the directory  !
+!! : $outputPath \n";
                system ("mkdir $consolidatedPath");
            }
        }
       else
       {
           print "WARNING : Directory  System Parameter OUT_DIR not fo
+und  !!! Please configure the  parameter \n";
           exit 0;
       }
