Re^2: display html file from Perl

use strict;
use warnings;

system("perl ./c1.pl > ./c1.html");

system("/usr/bin/firefox http://localhost:8080/ ./c1.html");
[download]

This constructs the HTML file but Firefox returns:

Error: GDK_BACKEND does not match available displays

This `http://localhost:8080/ ./c1.html` looks suspicious. At least the space, and did you really configure your local webserver to know the current working directory of your Perl script? I normally use the `file://` protocol (+ absolute path) for simpler HTML pages (your title says "file" not application) If this doesn't help, fix your Firefox. edit To be clear this is NOT a Perl problem. Find a solution from the command line. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!}	[reply] [d/l] [select]
