I am trying to build a string that contains the following text "dir c:\ /S"

Use single quotes:

    my $command = 'dir c:\ /s';

so I can get a complete directory of all the files on drive C and put them into an array with the following line of code - @dir_list = 'dir c:\ /S`;

    my @dir_list = `$command`;
