[MacPerl] dropping aliases on droplets

[Rich Morin <rdm@cfcl.com>]

I'm fiddling with writing a file-renaming droplet.  At this point, it
just prints out the names of the items dropped on it.

As a test, I tried dropping an alias on it.  To my surprise, the name
that got printed was the name of the item that the alias referenced!
This surprised me no end.  Worse, I see no way to get back from the
name I received to the name of the alias.

Comments, workarounds, etc, are solicited...
