That may work on a Mac but not on Win32 for some reason. I'm getting the message: 

MSWin32'open' is not recognized as an internal or external command, op

Using an exec does open the browser, but the program closes after it hits the exec. Any other ideas on how to do this under Win32 without having to use HTML::DIsplay?

Useless trivia: In the 2004 Las Vegas phone book there are approximately 28 pages of ads for massage, but almost 200 for lawyers.
