Re: How can I open a new browser window to a given size?

First, you should understand that you can't possibly do this in Perl, as Perl is not a client-browser-side language. So here is an off-topic Javascript technique.

--------

Assuming you are loading a document into the window:
JavaScript *sigh* in an onLoad="blah()" function for the page to set the size...

The method used to resize the Window in Internet Explorer is as such:

<script>
self.resizeTo(500,400);
</script>

For Netscape:
<script>
window.outerHeight = 500;
window.outerWidth = 400;
</script>

Just some 2 cents. I'm cheap.
