Hi all,

I have a program which outputs URLs of news stories I'm interested in (adapted from one in Sean M Burke's Perl and LWP) that I then pipe to the following mini-script to open them in Opera 6 on Linux:

while (<>) {
    chomp;
    m/\S/ and system("opera '$_' &");
}

[download]

However, this isn't quite what I'm after, since it opens each story in a separate instance of Opera. What I'm trying to do is to open each story in a separate window within Opera. I tried adding a short sleep at the end of the loop, and then it opens Opera just once, but loads all the stories into the same window one after another. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance, mooseboy
