On Win32 you can use Win32::OLE to create an Internet Explorer window.

use strict;
use Win32::OLE;

my $iexplorer = Win32::OLE->new('InternetExplorer.Application');

$iexplorer->Navigate('about:blank');
sleep 1 while($iexplorer->busy);
$iexplorer->{Visible} = 1;
$iexplorer->Navigate('http://www.google.com');
