• This error message has the same problem:

    25       } elsif ( ! -e $dst ) {
    26         mkdir $dst or die "Couldn't create dir : $target_node\n";

• Let's leave aside the fact that $target_node is undefined at this point

• What if you get this?

        Couldn't create dir : c:/temp/boogie

• Why not!?!?!

             } else {
               mkdir $dst
                 or die "Couldn't create dir $dst: $!";
             }

• Now it says something like this:

        Couldn't create dir c:/temp/boogie: Permission denied

        # or 
        Couldn't create dir c:/temp/boogie: Disk is on fire
