nysus has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

On a Cobalt RaQ4 server, running Perl 5.005_03, this line:
mkdir 'directory';
yields this error
Not enough arguments for mkdir
When I try to supply a mask argument to the above, the directory gets created but not with the mask I used. I'm guessing this all has something to do with the funky way a Cobalt server runs Perl code. Can someone tell me what's going on and a good workaround?
