If the requested path is "/some/where/else", and only "/some" exists, would you create "where/else" or just "else"?

How would you go about this: on failure of simple "mkdir()" would you run "File::Path:mkpath()" (or similar) or just run "File::Path::mkpath()" in the first place?

Just `mkpath` everything, no need to check. If the path already fully exists, `mkpath` will just fail harmlessly. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
