From perldoc File::Glob: ...

Your one liner is no longer really one line if you go that way. For the OP's solution, you'll need to be able to construct some magic looking glob string with '*' and '.*', and you'll have to weed out '.' and '..' as well. Assuming you can do that easily, you'll have something like this... 

use File::Glob ':glob';
my @dirs = grep { -d } bsd_glob('/usr/darren/' . $some_magic_globstr_h
+ere, GLOB_ERR); 
die "glob: $!" if GLOB_ERROR;

... which IMHO isn't shorter or easier to comprehend/maintain than this ... 
opendir my $dh, /usr/darren' or die "opendir: $!";
my @dirs = grep { -d } map { "/usr/darren/$_" } grep { !/^\.\.?$/ } re
+addir $dh;
closedir $dh or die "closedir: $dh";  # this line optional

... esp if you have to change what is matched in the future, but YMMV.
