opendir($DIR, ...) doesn't work because lexical filehandles weren't available in perl 5.004. But opendir(DIR, ...) doesn't work either, because your checkDir subroutine is recursive, but you're sharing the same filehandle between all subroutine calls.
You can get around this by reading the entire directory (i.e., get the full list of filenames in the current directory) before your recursion step.
On a side note, your example is way, way longer than it needs to be. Boil down your example into the smallest bit of code that reproduces your problem. In so doing, you might have noticed that it only happened when you tried to do it recursively.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
