in thread How to close the default browser in perl

Note that killing the browser process will likely also kill all other browser windows and browser tabs that are currently open. A user might not be amused if a program does stuff like that.

    yes, of course. This may heavely depends on th OS, i think. in win7 for example there is a PID for every tab open and if you kill such PID the tab only goes in error if is a tab in a group. if you close a 'main' window via kill you kill all windows at same time, and is not a nice thing.

    Please ppp note that 'default browser' is only a facility of an OS not a Perl concept.

      Hey hii, Isn't it possible to write a script for Alt +F4 ?

        Hello ppp, you are mixing Perl and OS issues. Alt+F4 is an OS feature. If you are on windows you can write in Perl some wrapper around autohotkey
