in reply to Launch CPAN search in browser from Windows command shell

I agree that's a neat idea, launching a browser window to display search results. I wonder if you could provide an alternative launch mechanism that would work with *nix as well, dependent on $^O. Reusing an existing browser instance and possibly opening in a new tab would be nice :).

Also, some other ideas spring to mind, like a dependency checker that opens browser windows for all the modules that you need, but don't yet have installed.
