It returns a list of all directories (including intermediates, determined
using the Unix '/' separator) created.
+If a system error prevents a directory from being created, then the
+C<mkpath> function throws a fatal error with C<Carp::croak>. This error
+can be trapped with an C<eval> block:
+
+ eval { mkpath($dir) };
+ if ($@) {
+ print "Couldn't create $dir: $@";
+ }
+
Similarly, the C<rmtree> function provides a convenient way to delete a
subtree from the directory structure, much like the Unix command C<rm -r>.
C<rmtree> takes three arguments:
=cut

use Exporter ();

our @EXPORT = qw( mkpath rmtree );
