It's probably safer to do this:

use File:ath;
mkpath($path);

In the case that you are trying to create a directory, where a previous directory doesn't exist.

i.e. You want to create: /documents/tests/drivers/linux/kernel

and directory /documents/tests/drivers doesn't exist....it wont be able to create the full directory using mkdir.

mkpath() will create all the previous non-created directories supplied in the path variable.

What about the situation where the exact path already exists, so it shouldn't create anything? How would mkpath handle that?

Basically I'm looking to for the same functionality as mkdir -p in a shell script.
