Using "$dir/$_" changes your paths from relative to absolute. Unless your working directory (the directory your shell was in when you executed perl) is equal to $dir, -d will be looking in the wrong place. This might be more obvious if you execute the code:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use 5.10.0; my $dir = "C:/Users/ST/DesktopSample"; opendir (my $gdh, $dir) or die "Unable to open main directory"; say for readdir($gdh); closedir($gdh);
