Description From John-Paul Navarro 2007-09-12 17:14:30

setup/globus/setup-globus-job-manager-fork.pl line 26 can silently fail:
mkdir $ENV{GLOBUS_LOCATION} . "/lib/perl/Globus/GRAM/JobManager", 0777;
Appears that if the parent directory doesn't exist, the Perl mkdir
function returns success ($?=0) with a failure message in $!.
Currently the script doesn't even check that mkdir worked.
Unix mkdir gives a valid return code and is used elsewhere in GT setup scripts.

BTW, the reason the parent directory was missing was that we were missing a
gram-fork-setup
dependency on another gpt package.  Had the mkdir failed loudly it would have
been easier to
find that problem.

The setup package is removed in 5.2.0, so this should be no longer an issue.
