Attach web page to existing browser

mjoyce has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Monks,
I'm working on Windows with perl for the first time, and I need a push in the right direction.

My script is perl/tk. Nothing elaborate, but the output is four html files that I would like to display upon creation.

I'm able to display them using:
system("explorer $filename")
But, each web page pops up a completely different IE browser.
I'd like to:
1. Perhaps launch a new browser to display the first file, but subsequent files would be attached as tabs.
2. Like to use the user's default browser...not everyone likes IE.

I could do this on linux...not so sure on Windows.
Help is always appreciated, oh wise ones.
Michele

Jenda solved the default part of this `use Win32::FileOp qw(ShellExecute); my $urls="$url1 $url2"; ShellExecute($urls);` [download] May do the rest	[reply] [d/l]

Yes, of course search CPAN would work. I thought that instead of hunting a pecking to find the correct module that I needed, I'd ask people that have a wide range of experience and knowledge, and could point me to a quality product. Thanks for you help.	[reply]
