MacPerl is unfortunately inconsistent in its handling of ':'.  The safest
thing to do is to check if something is a directory and add a ':' to the
end of the name if it is not already there:

  $filename .= ':' if (-d $filename && $filename !~ /:$/);

I would also consider it a bug; though I have not tested your claims,
specfically, this does happen in some places in MacPerl.
