problem with return function value in perl

$val = mkdir $directory, 755
print $val;

does't create directory but return as value '0'

$val = 0 means true o false?

should be

Code:

$val = mkdir $directory, 0755;

assuming $directory is defined beforehand.

true = 1

I'd use this

Code:

mkdir($directory, 0755) or die "mkdir failed: msg was $!\n";
