This might have failed...
Jan> mkdir "newsubdir/" or die "$!";

Hi,
this does not work:
mkdir "/some/dir/newsubdir" or die "$!";
while this does:
chdir "/some/dir";
mkdir "newsubdir/" or die "$!";
In the shell, I can obviously execute the former.
Is it true that in Perl, I can create a directory only within the current
working directory?
Thanks,
Jan
