# File::Path

Native implementation of File::Path

Provides directory tree creation and removal operations.

# Synopsis

    use File::Path qw(make_path remove_tree);

    make_path("foo/bar/baz", "quux/blort");
    make_path("web/cgi", { mode => 0755 });

    remove_tree("foo/bar", { keep_root => 1 });

    # Legacy interface
    use File::Path;
    mkpath(["/tmp/a/b/c"], 0, 0755);
    rmtree(["/tmp/scratch"]);

# Functions

## make_path

Create one or more directory trees, including intermediate directories (modern API).
Accepts a list of paths and an optional trailing hashref of options (mode, error, verbose).

```perl
use File::Path 'make_path';
make_path("/tmp/a/b/c", { mode => 0755 });
```

## mkpath

Legacy interface for make_path. Accepts `mkpath(\@dirs, $verbose, $mode)`.

```perl
use File::Path;
mkpath(["/tmp/a/b/c"], 0, 0755);
```

## remove_tree

Remove one or more directory trees recursively (modern API).
Accepts a list of paths and an optional trailing hashref of options (keep_root, error).

```perl
use File::Path 'remove_tree';
remove_tree("/tmp/a", { keep_root => 1 });
```

## rmtree

Legacy interface for remove_tree. Accepts `rmtree(\@dirs, $verbose, $safe)`.

```perl
use File::Path;
rmtree(["/tmp/a"]);
```

Perl equivalent: File::Path (make_path, remove_tree, mkpath, rmtree)
