See the ruby docs, in particular the File and Dir class.

File.directory?(file_name) => true or false

Returns true if the named file is a directory, false otherwise.

File.directory?(".")

Dir.mkdir( string [, integer] ) => 0

Makes a new directory named by string, with permissions specified by the
optional parameter anInteger. The permissions may be modified by the
value
of File::umask, and are ignored on NT. Raises a SystemCallError if the
directory cannot be created. See also the discussion of permissions in
the
class documentation for File.
