Could you at least indicate what this more robust approach would be?

I really want an mkpath() function in 5.10 that's 100% compatible  
with the interface documented in 5.8.  The only way I can see that  
happening is if you require a hash ref as the last argument to  
trigger the new interface, or that you simply move the new interface  
to a new function name and leave the old interface alone.  Using the  
name make_path() for the "modern" interface seems like an improvement  
in readability as well, and would be my preferred approach.
