because system calls rely on you ENV via CLI and %ENV when called in
perl. (IE *you* are executing it in CLI and *perl* is executing it when
using backticks = different environments = different results (possibly))
To find out exactly why "dir" behaves that way you'd need to ask the
"dir" program developers or look at its source code.
For reliablity its best to use Moduells instead of system calls for just
such a portability issue as you see in your OP.

That is, why does the output differ between:

Different environments. Use File::Find instead. See `perldoc File::Find`
for details.
