Preview opens them as multiple windows.  How can I tell Preview to

You might try something like this and run the resulting script as an 
osascript or one of the Mac modules:

It needn't be as verbose but it's late and I'm off to bed:

my $dir = "$ENV{HOME}/pictures";
opendir DIR, $dir or die $!;
my @files = readdir(DIR);
my @filelist;
for ( @files) {
        /\.jpg$/ and push @filelist,  "alias \"$_\"";
}
@filelist = @filelist[4,5];
my $filelist = "{" . (join ", ", @filelist) . "}";
my $script = "tell app \"preview\" to open $filelist";
print $script;
