Yes. The length is known, but being throw away by the XS typemap:
void
dl_install_xsub(perl_name, symref, filename="$Package")
char * perl_name
void * symref
const char * filename
Change char *perl_name to SV *perl name, and one can get the length.
(And, like every other filename interaction, start to wonder which character
set the OS was expecting. Rather than pretending to ignore it)
