7=head1 SYNOPSIS
8
8b87c192 9 use File::Path;
fed7345c 10
8b87c192 11 mkpath(['/foo/bar/baz', 'blurfl/quux'], 1, 0711);

14=head1 DESCRIPTION
15
037c8c09 16The C<mkpath> function provides a convenient way to create directories, even
17if your C<mkdir> kernel call won't create more than one level of directory at
18a time. C<mkpath> takes three arguments:
fed7345c 19
20=over 4
21
22=item *
23
24the name of the path to create, or a reference
25to a list of paths to create,
26
27=item *
28
29a boolean value, which if TRUE will cause C<mkpath>
30to print the name of each directory as it is created
31(defaults to FALSE), and
32
33=item *
34
35the numeric mode to use when creating the directories
36(defaults to 0777)
37
38=back
39
037c8c09 40It returns a list of all directories (including intermediates, determined
41using the Unix '/' separator) created.
fed7345c 42
070ed461 43If a system error prevents a directory from being created, then the
99c4c5e8 44C<mkpath> function throws a fatal error with C<Carp::croak>. This error
45can be trapped with an C<eval> block:
070ed461 46
47 eval { mkpath($dir) };
48 if ($@) {
49 print "Couldn't create $dir: $@";
50 }
51
fed7345c 52Similarly, the C<rmtree> function provides a convenient way to delete a
53subtree from the directory structure, much like the Unix command C<rm -r>.
54C<rmtree> takes three arguments:
55
56=over 4
57
58=item *
59
60the root of the subtree to delete, or a reference to
61a list of roots. All of the files and directories
62below each root, as well as the roots themselves,
567d72c2 63will be deleted.
fed7345c 64
65=item *
66
67a boolean value, which if TRUE will cause C<rmtree> to
748a9306 68print a message each time it examines a file, giving the
69name of the file, and indicating whether it's using C<rmdir>
70or C<unlink> to remove it, or that it's skipping it.
fed7345c 71(defaults to FALSE)
72
73=item *
74
75a boolean value, which if TRUE will cause C<rmtree> to
748a9306 76skip any files to which you do not have delete access
77(if running under VMS) or write access (if running
78under another OS). This will change in the future when
79a criterion for 'delete permission' under OSs other
96e4d5b1 80than VMS is settled. (defaults to FALSE)
fed7345c 81
82=back
83
96e4d5b1 84It returns the number of files successfully deleted. Symlinks are
341bd822 85simply deleted and not followed.
fed7345c 86
96e4d5b1 87B<NOTE:> If the third parameter is not TRUE, C<rmtree> is B<unsecure>
88in the face of failure or interruption. Files and directories which
89were not deleted may be left with permissions reset to allow world
90read and write access. Note also that the occurrence of errors in
91rmtree can be determined I<only> by trapping diagnostic messages
92using C<$SIG{__WARN__}>; it is not apparent from the return value.
b6d5dbc1 93Therefore, you must be extremely careful about using C<rmtree($foo,$bar,0)>
96e4d5b1 94in situations where security is an issue.
95
b8d5f521 96=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
97
98=over 4
99
100=item *
101
102On Windows, if C<mkpath> gives you the warning: B<No such file or
103directory>, this may mean that you've exceeded your filesystem's
104maximum path length.
