Avoiding ‘mkdir -p’ in Perl by using File::Path::make_path()

Using “ (back ticks) to implement the unix ‘mkdir -p’  is a “ghetto hack” and can now be circumvented by using File::Path::make_path. Here is some example code that implements that functionality:

###############################################################################
# Subroutine: mkdir
#
# Function that emulates unix’s “mkdir -p”
#
# Arguments: Scalar String – the path in question
#
# Returns: Scalar – either an integer representing the number of new directories created or an error message
sub mkdir($) {
my $path = shift;
my $err_msg;
# attempt a ‘mkdir -p’ on the provided path and catch any errors returned
my $mkdir_out = make_path( $path, { error => \my $err } );
# catch and return the error if there was one
if (@$err) {
for my $diag (@$err) {
my ( $file, $message ) = %$diag;
$err_msg .= $message;
}
print “$err_msg”;
} else {
print “$mkdir_out”;
}
} ## end sub mkdir($)

this subroutine will will try to create the path specified and will either print an int representing the number of new directories created or an error message.

Setting Bash Environment Variables

If you are using the shell in Ubuntu and want to change your $PATH or $HOME variable permanently and not on a per session basis, the easiest way, IMO, is to simply edit ~/.bashrc. Adding the following line to .bashrc will add some directories to your $PATH variable:

‘export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/some/dirs:/path/to/some/more/dirs’

Google Ships Android 2.01 without Exhange ActiveSync Security

Jul 3rd

For those of us using an Android based phone (Motorola Droid), Verizon and Google have shipped the newest release without support for ActiveSynce security, a feature both Windows Mobile and the iPhone have supported since their inception. This is a case of blatant false advertisement on the part of both Verizon and Google considering that they claim the Android OS supports Exchange right out-of-the-box. Check out the following link from Google’s own website: Google Failing
