mkdir - create a directory
mkdir FILENAME,MASK
mkdir FILENAME
Creates the directory specified by
FILENAME, with permissions
specified by
MASK (as modified by umask). If it succeeds it
returns true, otherwise it returns false and sets $! (errno).
If omitted,
MASK defaults to 0777.
In general, it is better to create directories with permissive
MASK,
and let the user modify that with their umask, than it is to supply
a restrictive
MASK and give the user no way to be more permissive.
The exceptions to this rule are when the file or directory should be
kept private (mail files, for instance). The perlfunc(1) entry on
umask discusses the choice of
MASK in more detail.
