Try using the File::Path module:
use File::Path;
my $dir = "C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/presupuestador/Sessions/11232";
eval { mkpath($dir) };
if ($@) {
print "Couldn't create $dir: $@";
}
If this doesn't work then you probably have a permissions issue. $@
should tell you.
Also, as a rule of thumb it's a good idea to use the forward slash "/"
character for directory separator in your perl scripts on Windows and
Unix. Everything works correctly and you won't get those nasty gotchas
when you forget to escape your backslashes. [ I've tested the above with
/ and \\ and everything works fine for me]

Creating a new directory from a script under windows
I am programing a cgi that performs a series of tasks while interacting with the client and that should keep a session alive for a week. In order to do that I decided to create a session directory each time a client sings up. The directory is create while the scrip runs under linux, but under windows it is not able to do it. It seems a permission problem, but the directory has all the permissions enabled and none disabled. The mkdir part of the script doesn't work, as it seems it is note allowed to create directories, but the second part works perfect so the script is indeed allowed to create a new file into the same directory. #now trying to create the session 11232 that fails $sys = "mkdir C:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\presupuestador\\Sessions\\11232"; #now creating a new file without problems open(SES,">C:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\presupuestador\\Sessions\\sessions.txt") or die; print SES $line; close(SES); Anyone sees the problem here?
