Change this to:
foreach $name (glob("$opt_i/*.xml")) {

As suggested previously, you should normally only get this when there
are tens of thousands of files on the command line. What operating
system and version are you running? For UNIX systems, the kernel is
compiled to allow a set amount of information to be passed during an
exec. The information that is passed includes the command line
arguments, the environment, and some other little stuff. If your
environment is large, e.g., you have a _lot_ (thousands) or environment
variables or one environment variable that is really large (perhaps you
are setting environment variables in your script?), then the total
number of command line arguments you are allowed may be significantly
reduced.

This points to the fact that either your $opt_i is not set propertly or
you are setting some environment variables in your script that are
causing problems.
