perl problem - why isn't 'die' being called?

last week i started learning perl, so have limited skill and knowledge.

why isn't 'die' being called and the script exiting before the 'directory created' line?

Code:
if (! -d "$logdir") {
    system "mkdir -p $logdir" || die print "\nERROR: release log directory creation failed - $logdir: $!\n";
    print "\nINFO: Directory created - $logdir\n";
}

the result:

mkdir: "/build/cm_test_sharee/release_logs/crm/crmuat": Permission denied

INFO: Directory created - /build/cm_test_sharee/release_logs/crm/crmuat



thanks in advance,

matt
