KDE Drag-and-drop/scripting question

I want to create an icon on the desktop for dragging and dropping files onto (for a wife friendly script essentially). I wrote a quick test to make sure it would work how I expected.

Source code

$file = "";
while (defined($file))
{
        if ($file ne "")
        {
                print "ARGV = [$file]\n";
        }
        $file = shift (@ARGV);
}

When I ran it, instead of one window with four printed lines, I got four spawned windows with a single printed file.

I could jiggery pokery and make it work, but I'd rather find a way to do it more simply.

Is there a way to get all four files to go to the same script process? Barring that, is there a utility that will do something similar and then would kick off my script?
