try `find /home/sites/$arg1/users -type d -maxdepth 1`.

this might be the more perlish way...

my $which_site = shift @ARGV or die "Usage: $0 <sitename>\n";
my $home = "/home/sites/$which_site/users";

use Cwd;
my $old_cwd = cwd();    # keep current working directory

chdir $home or die "Can't chdir: $!\n";

opendir(HOME, '.') or die "Can't opendir: $!\n";

my @users = grep
{ 
  !/^\./                       # skip any .file_or_dir esp . and ..
  and -d                       # is it a directory?
} readdir(HOME);          
   
closedir(HOME);

# go back to where we started
chdir $old_cwd or die "Can't chdir: $!\n"; 

print join "\n", @users, '';
