hey, I just shifted over to doing it that way myself....
I always had a simple function that wrapped

        system("mkdir -p $dir");

so not a problem... Then I built one with a recursive walker
cause I wanted to do that.....

I really wish I could remember....

I think it comes 'by default' with perl 5.6.1 - but for the
life of Me I can not recall....

nope - a quick check of the CPAN
        http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=module&query=File%3A%3APath

suggest that it first showed up in 5.003 so it should be there...

when in wonder when in doubt - the old version trick will help

[jeeves:Library/Perl/File] drieux% perl -MFile::Path -e 'print 
"$File::Path::VERSION  \n"'
1.0403
[jeeves:Library/Perl/File] drieux%

IF you get say:
[jeeves:Library/Perl/File] drieux% perl -MFile::WOMBAT  -e 'print 
"$File::WOMBAT::VERSION  \n"'
Can't locate File/WOMBAT.pm in @INC (@INC contains: 
/System/Library/Perl/darwin /System/Library/Perl /Library/Perl/darwin 
/Library/Perl /Library/Perl /Network/Library/Perl/darwin /Network/Library/
Perl /Network/Library/Perl .).
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
[jeeves:Library/Perl/File] drieux%

then the problem is that the Module will have to be downloaded....
