1fc4cb55 9C<use File::Path>

11C<mkpath(['/foo/bar/baz', 'blurfl/quux'], 1, 0711);>

16
037c8c09 17The C<mkpath> function provides a convenient way to create directories, even
18if your C<mkdir> kernel call won't create more than one level of directory at
19a time. C<mkpath> takes three arguments:
fed7345c 20
21=over 4
22
23=item *
24
25the name of the path to create, or a reference
26to a list of paths to create,
27
28=item *
29
30a boolean value, which if TRUE will cause C<mkpath>
31to print the name of each directory as it is created
32(defaults to FALSE), and
33
34=item *
35
36the numeric mode to use when creating the directories
37(defaults to 0777)
38
39=back
40
037c8c09 41It returns a list of all directories (including intermediates, determined
42using the Unix '/' separator) created.
fed7345c 43
44Similarly, the C<rmtree> function provides a convenient way to delete a
45subtree from the directory structure, much like the Unix command C<rm -r>.
46C<rmtree> takes three arguments:
47
48=over 4
49
50=item *
51
52the root of the subtree to delete, or a reference to
53a list of roots. All of the files and directories
54below each root, as well as the roots themselves,
567d72c2 55will be deleted.
fed7345c 56
57=item *
58
59a boolean value, which if TRUE will cause C<rmtree> to
748a9306 60print a message each time it examines a file, giving the
61name of the file, and indicating whether it's using C<rmdir>
62or C<unlink> to remove it, or that it's skipping it.
fed7345c 63(defaults to FALSE)
64
65=item *
66
67a boolean value, which if TRUE will cause C<rmtree> to
748a9306 68skip any files to which you do not have delete access
69(if running under VMS) or write access (if running
70under another OS). This will change in the future when
71a criterion for 'delete permission' under OSs other
96e4d5b1 72than VMS is settled. (defaults to FALSE)
fed7345c 73
74=back
75
96e4d5b1 76It returns the number of files successfully deleted. Symlinks are
a5f75d66 77treated as ordinary files.
fed7345c 78
96e4d5b1 79B<NOTE:> If the third parameter is not TRUE, C<rmtree> is B<unsecure>
80in the face of failure or interruption. Files and directories which
81were not deleted may be left with permissions reset to allow world
82read and write access. Note also that the occurrence of errors in
83rmtree can be determined I<only> by trapping diagnostic messages
84using C<$SIG{__WARN__}>; it is not apparent from the return value.
85Therefore, you must be extremely careful about using C<rmtree($foo,$bar,0>
86in situations where security is an issue.
