Hi,
please show ur code here

[bdan44]

mkdir Test;
use Cwd();
$path = getcwd(); #Get the current path
$path =~ s/\\/\//sg;
opendir(DIR, $path) || die ("cannot open the path");

AND

mkdir Sample;
opendir(DIRHANDLE, "/Sample");

but those didn't work. they both can create a directory but they won't enter it

mkdir Test;
use Cwd();
$path=getcwd(); #Get the current path
$path=~s/\\/\//sg;
opendir(DIR, $path) || die ("cannot open the path");

AND

mkdir Sample;
opendir(DIRHAND LE, "/Sample");

but those didn't work. they both can create a directory but they won't enter it

opendir opens a directory for processing by "readdir", "telldir", "seekdir", "rewinddir" and "closedir". If you want to make a directory, you should use chdir() to change to where you want to create directory, and then use mkdir().

I ended up doing it like this
chdir('the dir i wanted') || die("couldn't do it");
mkdir Test;
chdir(Test) ||die("couldn't do it");

thanks for you help though
