[Pdx-pm] mkdir -p ?

[Keith Lofstrom]

The dirvish backup script (written in Perl) does a mkdir to make the
directory where new backups go.  One of the users makes many backups
per day, and would like to organize those into subtrees.   This
would be easy if Perl had the equivalent of "mkdir -p ARG" rather
than just "mkdir ARG". 

I can think of many ways to fake "mkdir -p" (recursive, system call,
etc.) but there is probably an elegant way to do it.  Suggestions?
