Add error checking to your open statements. You are only referencing the filename and not the full path, so it can't find the file.
The following is how I'd clean up your script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
#regexp.pl
use File::Spec;
use strict;
use warnings;
print "Gimme the address of the directory:\n";
chomp(my $folder = <>);
print "What's the phrase you're looking for?\n";
chomp(my $find = <>);
my @found;
opendir my $dh, $folder or die "Can't open $folder: $!";
while (my $file = readdir($dh)) {
next if $file =~ /^\.+$/;
my $path = File::Spec->catfile($folder, $file);
next if ! -f $path;
open my $fh, $path or die "Can't open $path: $!";
my $data = do {local $/; <$fh>};
close $fh;
if ($data =~ /\Q$find\E/i){
push @found, $file;
}
}
close $dh;
print "Your query was found in the following files:\n";
print "@found\n";

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
