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
43Similarly, the C<rmtree> function provides a convenient way to delete a
44subtree from the directory structure, much like the Unix command C<rm -r>.
45C<rmtree> takes three arguments:
46
47=over 4
48
49=item *
50
51the root of the subtree to delete, or a reference to
52a list of roots. All of the files and directories
53below each root, as well as the roots themselves,
567d72c2 54will be deleted.
fed7345c 55
56=item *
57
58a boolean value, which if TRUE will cause C<rmtree> to
748a9306 59print a message each time it examines a file, giving the
60name of the file, and indicating whether it's using C<rmdir>
61or C<unlink> to remove it, or that it's skipping it.
fed7345c 62(defaults to FALSE)
63
64=item *
65
66a boolean value, which if TRUE will cause C<rmtree> to
748a9306 67skip any files to which you do not have delete access
68(if running under VMS) or write access (if running
69under another OS). This will change in the future when
70a criterion for 'delete permission' under OSs other
96e4d5b1 71than VMS is settled. (defaults to FALSE)
fed7345c 72
73=back
74
96e4d5b1 75It returns the number of files successfully deleted. Symlinks are
341bd822 76simply deleted and not followed.
fed7345c 77
96e4d5b1 78B<NOTE:> If the third parameter is not TRUE, C<rmtree> is B<unsecure>
79in the face of failure or interruption. Files and directories which
80were not deleted may be left with permissions reset to allow world
81read and write access. Note also that the occurrence of errors in
82rmtree can be determined I<only> by trapping diagnostic messages
83using C<$SIG{__WARN__}>; it is not apparent from the return value.
84Therefore, you must be extremely careful about using C<rmtree($foo,$bar,0>
85in situations where security is an issue.
