If you copy the droplet via the Finder, then there should be no
trouble with the desktop being updated. I suspect that the problem
lies in MacPerl writing the droplet to a floppy. I am not sure,
but MacPerl may have to "unset" the "Init-ed" flag to get the
Finder to adjust the desktop on the new volume.
