Can I assume that it's not possible to use grep in a Win32 perl script?

I'm trying to filter the files that READDIR reads in from a directory.  I
need to get one list of of TIFF files, and another list of all PDF files in
a particular directory.

A textbook example of what I'm trying to do is -

        @allfiles = grep {$_ ne '.' and $_ ne '..' } readdir THISDIR;

This is where grep comes in, but I assume I can't use this idea for my own
script.

How else can I do the same thing?  (filtering the output of "readdir"?)
