I'd like to see the same behavior that occurs in perl5. That is: DB<3> mkdir "existingfile" or warn "$!\n" File exists DB<4> mkdir "/" or warn "$!\n" File exists DB<5> mkdir "/root/noway" or warn "$!\n" Permission denied DB<6> mkdir "newdir" or warn "$!\n"
DB<7> mkdir "newdir" or warn "$!\n" File exists
