perl-File-Path-Tiny

The goal here is simply to provide recursive versions of mkdir() and
rmdir() with as little code and overhead as possible.
This module is in no way meant to derogate File::Path and is in no way an
endorsement to go out and replace all use of File::Path with
File::Path::Tiny.
File::Path is very good at what it does but there's simply a lot happening
that we can do without much of the time.
Here are some things File::Path has/does that this module attempts to do
without:


multiple interfaces



Backwards compatibility brings in a lot of code and logic that we don't
need from here on out.


chdir()s



It forces a ton of chdir()s which could leave you somewhere you're not
planning on being and requires much more overhead to do.
This module provides a way to disable that if you know it is safe to do so
in your circumstance.


can croak not allowing you to detect and handle failure



Just let me handle errors how I want. Don't make my entire app die or have
to wrap it in an eval
The exception here is the security checks can croak, which is what you
want. See DIAGNOSTICS for more info.


A well intentioned output system



Just let me do the output how I want. (Nothing, As HTML, print to a
filehandle, etc...)


A well intentioned and experimental (IE subject to change) error

handling system.

Just keep it simple and detect failure via a boolean check and do what I
want with the error. See "How can I make/remove multiple paths?"


According to its POD, removing a tree is apparently not safe unless you

tell it to be with the ‘safe’ or 'keep_root' attributes.

Seems like that should just happen, I don't want to worry about
accidentally removing / when I pass it /tmp
