Return Code 512 thrown when executing mkdir and copy command

[gunaseelan_wipro]

Hi all,

In one of my perl scripts when i try to create a directory using mkdir (), the directory is created but the return code for the mkdir () is 512, the same is the case for copy command.

Eg:

my $val = /xyz/abc/dkd
mkdir ($val);
rc = $?
 

when i print rc it is 512, but the directory is created.

Can some one tell me what does return code 512 mean?

Thanks & Regards,

my $val = /xyz/abc/dkd
mkdir ($val);
rc = $?----------------> bug  here ,  u  have  to use $rc
 

Other thing is if mkdir() sucessfully created a directory.,then it returns a zero value, otherwise it returns non-zero value,Don't bother about that it's vary from os to os.
