Making a Directory Using mkdir in Perl

mkdir("hohofiles", 0777) || print $!;

This will make a directory named hohofiles in the current directory.


-We called Perl's built-in mkdir function.
-We enclosed the name we'd like our directory to have in quotation marks. This could have also included the path to our new directory.
-We set permissions to 0777. (Most likely your directory will have permissions of 755 due to a umask of 22.)
-We included two vertical bars or pipes, which mean "or".
-We said to print any error we might receive. The errors are contained in the built-in variable $!

-Summary: make our directory or print errors.




Copy and Paste Perl Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";

mkdir("hohofiles", 0777) || print $!;
mkdir("hohofiles/jiji", 0777) || print $!;

print " -Done";

exit;
