Supply the full path to "diruse.exe". Remember to escape the backslashes. Eg:
open(DIRUSE, "c:\\windows\\system32\\diruse.exe . |");
If the path contains spaces, you will need to include double-quotes to contain them.

I know this may be a bit redundant information, but to ensure
you do not forget any backslash you can also write it
with single slash which makes it a bit more readable.
Windows can handle single slashes - at least since XP/2000.
my $dirUseResult = qx(c:/windows/system32/diruse.exe);
Cheers!
