Since dir is a built-in, you should do this:
use strict;
print qx!cmd /c dir /s!;
print "\n-----\n";
system('cmd /c dir /b');
print "\n-----\n";
system("cmd /c dir /w");
print "\n-----\n";
I do hope this is for testing, and that you won't be shelling out to dir
in your script, as anything dir does can be done in pure Perl.
