Hello,

I recently decided to host a site on one of my machines (Win XP,
Active State 5.8.8) for testing a couple of scripts since my host
objects to installing a few modules. Anyway, can someone explain why
the following code will create directories and the the code below it
will not (keep getting permission denied errors). First thing that
stands out is chmods, but I thought that both the shebang and
permissions are not needed on Win XP.

Any thoughts?
Any help appreciated!

WORKS
----------------
if (-e "$new_dir"){ die("Directory $new_dir previously created.\n") }
 mkdir ($new_dir,$chmod) || die("Error making Directory $new_dir $!\n");
 exit();

GIVES PERMISSION DENIED ERROR (on a Win XP but works on *nix)
---------------------------------------------------------
mkdir("$new_dir") || die("Error: $!");
