in thread Linking to Web from Tk Fork, Spawn and Proc Background

I originally did not fork. The program would hang up. Only when I ended the program with a cntrl-c, would the web site would appear. That is what led me to try a fork in the first place.

    Here's how I do it in Adso.pl, a Tk-based PerlMonks client: 
    require Win32;
{
    my $pid;
    Win32::Spawn( $path_to_firefox_exe, qq(-url "$url"), $pid );
}

    I may have been wrong about the cmd.exe thing.
