G'day darkblackblue,
This looks like you're running into a backslashitis nightmare.
I think I'd aim for something closer to:
my $path_base = 'C:\Users\darkblack\Desktop\A\.';
...
my $dir = $path_base . $directory_name;
I don't have an MSWin box to test this on; however, the basic concept works fine on my system:
$ pwd
/Users/ken/tmp
$ ls -al .fred
ls: cannot access '.fred': No such file or directory
$ perl -e 'my $x = q{/Users/ken/tmp/.}; my $y = q{fred}; mkdir $x . $y
+'
$ ls -al .fred
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 ken staff 68 Dec 4 18:27 .
drwxr-xr-x 19 ken staff 646 Dec 4 18:27 ..

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
