has a special return value for that case. Win32::GUI's GetOpenFileName wrapper doesn't really handle the special return value, and even if it did, it is not the greatest idea to have the user select his files twice, once causing overflow, and the second time with a bigger buffer. It would be much better to have a bigger buffer to start with.
In the spirit of Perl, can't we optimize for the common case, and make the uncommon case possible?
I'd like to not have to say I don't want a tiny, possibly overflowing buffer. I'd like to have the enhanced, larger buffer by default (say a couple of K at least so it never becomes an issue). And if I really need to go beyond even that, maybe it's time for a new parameter.
