To get the file name, use the File::Spec or File::Basename module.
They are more robust, portable, and readable than calling "split" by
hand.
Always invoke mkdir, or any similar Perl operator, like this:
mkdir $directory, 0777
or die "Unable to mkdir $directory: $^E";
That will tell you exactly what it tried to do and why it failed.
