I'm not a Windows user, so forgive my stupid question: Is there a dir.exe or dir.com binary? If not, it might be a shell builtin, and thus not be available for launching externally.
Anyway, for file listings you can also use glob or opendir, readdir, closedir or File::Find (or File::Find::Rule, which has the more convenient interface for newcomers).
