Re: how to open browser window with given url on Win32?

If you don't mind using IE, you can do it very simply as follows:


  use Win32::OLE;

  my $ie = new Win32::OLE 'InternetExplorer.Application';

  $ie->Navigate( $url, 0, $window_name );

If $window_name is not the name of a currently open IE window, it will open a new window with that name.

I think this will work in most cases. I was looking at this method at home before I saw this responce and I found this article Titled Connect to a Running Instance of Internet Explorer in MSDN. It is in VB and C++ and I have not had time to see if it can be 'Perlized'. HTH MADuran Who needs a spiffy sig	[reply]
