Re: [MacPerl] Maximum number of filenames for a droplet

[Dan Herron <herron@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]

I think the problem can be solved by increasing the memory partition for
the droplet, if my memory serves me (and it has to, since I have no Mac
to test this on.) I seem to remember cranking the memory allocation (File
-> Get Info) up to about 100K, and then it could handle (pass to MacPerl)
a reasonable number of files.

Dan, who's stuck using Perl on NT and DREAMING of having droplets...
