@ARGV _is_ an array, and it can be copied to another array:
@some_array = @ARGV;
Just to check: are you dropping multiple files on the droplet in one
'drop', or are you dropping each file one at a time?
If the latter, study the open() command; as written, each time your
script is called, it writes over what was already there.
Otherwise, what are the errors you see? Maybe there's a hint there.
