I don't *think* that MacPerl knows this. I have the same problem with
AppleScripts, so I'm assuming it is a finder-based limitation. The finder
itself seems to pass on only a certain number of files to the drop app.

I suppose you could compare with the known maximum, if it is a single
number and not related to how much memory the Finder currently has.
