The built-in OS class list of the module seems to be pretty small, no Fedora, Suse or Solaris for example (expandability is great when the script writer using your module knows where it will run, but if he wants an os-independant script, he wants as much built in as possible). I guess it was your intention to only look for THE one browser on any OS, sadly that leaves out those OS where there is no concept of THE browser. Otherwise a class array instead of the class hash would have been better to prioritize the available browsers

Is there a way to find the standard browser on Suse or newer Solaris? Checking for firefox,mozilla,netscape or lynx on the PATH might be the only way to realiably find something on every version of these OS

Sorry if that sounds too critical or nitpicky, otherwise a great little module
