MacPerl (or Perl) doesn't loose the ability.  You asked it to check the
type of files in the current directory, regardless of where the file
reside!  Either change the current directory beforehand:
    chdir( $dir ) || die( "Can't cd to '$dir': $!\n" );
    opendir( HERE, ':' )....
or use the given directory in the file tests:
    if (-d "$dir$title")...
