RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Opening a *New* Browser Window?

[Frazier, J. J. <Joe...@Pe...>]

Not sure how this would work otherwise, but I did this on may machine
and it worked. =20


`start iexplore.exe http://www.activestate.com`
use backticks to call the "start" command in the command shell, then
pass an explicite exe name followed by the arguments.  I tried it
without the iexplore.exe and it only opened the window.  I believe this
is something that is wrong my machine since the same thing happens when
I click on a link within Outlook.  Therefore, If you just put=20

`start http://www.myurl.com`;=20
I might actually work the way you want it.=20
