Well, you can use this somewhat-deprecated code:

sub get_folder {
  require 'GUSI.ph';
  my($prompt, $default) = @_;
  MacPerl::Choose(
    GUSI::AF_FILE(), 0, $prompt, '',
    GUSI::CHOOSE_DIR() + ($default ? &GUSI::CHOOSE_DEFAULT : 0),
    $default
  );
}
print get_folder();

It works fine out of the box.  You'll need to append a ':' on what it
returns, probably.  I have not played around enough to know its behavior
well.

Eventually, there will probably be a direct toolbox call in the toolbox modules.
