One subtle difference between your use of readdir and the OP's use of ls is that the latter will not list dot-files (e.g., .profile) by default. Conveniently, glob('*') mimics that behavior and shortens the necessary code: 
my %searchlist = map {$_ => 1} glob('*');

    Aye. The non-glob alternative would be to change
    grep { /^\.\.?$/ }
    to
    grep { /^\./ }
