Yes, Thank you.. not very smart on my part, after I posted I realized that I did not have firefox installed on this system.

I did get it to open a page, however, it caused a new problem.

It opens a browser window but then I get an error saying "Perl command line interpreter has stopped working" and it closes out my program.

below is the call that I make (please note that I set this code just to test it working so please bare with the hardcoding of the link and such)


$tmp_label = $table->Button(-image => $D_Image,  -borderwidth=>0, -cur
+sor=>'hand1', -command=>[\&NewOrders]);

sub NewOrders {

$pid = fork();

if ($pid == 0) { execute(system "start http://www.yahoo.com"); exit(0)
+;}

}

Anyone know why it is crashing out my perl? I believe I have it forked properly??
