Hmm. I tried it (on XP), and I get exactly the same output, including data and time, in the file as I get to the screen: 

[0] Perl> `dir >junk.txt`;;
[0] Perl> @d2 = do{ local @ARGV = 'junk.txt'; <> };;
[0] Perl> print for @d2[ 0 .. 10 ];;
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is BCCA-B4CC

 Directory of c:\test

As far as I am aware, the only way to get a raw list of files without the data and time is to use the /b switch on the dir command: 

[0] Perl> `dir /b >junk.txt`;;
[0] Perl> @d2 = do{ local @ARGV = 'junk.txt'; <> };;
[0] Perl> print for @d2[ 0 .. 10 ];;
