Not true. At least my microperl does have a working readdir:

  mhx@r2d2 $ ./microperl -le 'opendir D, "."; while (defined($_ = readdir D)) { print }'
  .
  ..
  t
  upp_pack.o
  ext
  lib
  [...]

Which version of perl are you trying to build microperl from?

Most of that is configurable via uconfig.sh.
