Re: Choose your own Adventure - for Perl & Windows

Self contained single thread Perl webbrowser

Are you sure? I don't see anything looking like a browser, but much code that looks like a primitive web server.

... but it's right there: `# Automatically start a webbrowser to http://localhost:$CFG{'MYPORT'} if($0 =~/.exe$/i){ system("start","http://localhost:$CFG{'MYPORT'}"); }` [download] And it starts any default OS browser defined by the user currently logged in (user friendly!) /joke Yes... a typo... should I fix the text or leave it in?

`# Automatically start a webbrowser to http://localhost:$CFG{'MYPORT'} if($0 =~/.exe$/i){ system("start","http://localhost:$CFG{'MYPORT'}"); }` [download] That won't work on Linux, *BSD, other Unixes (and yes, `.exe` is a legal file extension for a perl script on any Unix). The following code fragment correctly identifies Windows, and also starts the web browser if you run the bare perl script: `if ($^O eq 'MSWin32') { system("start","http://localhost:$CFG{'MYPORT'}"); }` [download] Yes... a typo... should I fix the text or leave it in? You could use `<strike></strike>`. Alexander -- Today I will gladly share my knowledge and experience, for there are no sweeter words than "I told you so". ;-)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
