I'm not used to writing perl scripts on windows. I'm having a
problem where a system call dies but still performs the command.
I don't think I understand how exit status is checked.
my $target = "E:/some_dir/another_dir";
system("mkdir $target") or die "Can't mkdir $target: $!";
The script stops at the `or die' but looking in E:/ I see `dir' has
been created. Also the error ouput ($!) has no value.
I get this error:
Can't mkdir E:/some_dir/another_dir At: blah blah line 23
So the command didn't really fail but perl thinks it did.
May be notable that the script is running on C: and the target is on E:
