in thread open windows application from linux server

I have a web page created using perl,, and I want to open a windows application (say notepad.exe) by clicking a link.

Most browsers consider that a security risk and for good reason.

You could probably launch .exe's from html with HTAs (microsoft) and/or XULRunner (mozilla); they're used for creating desktop applications with html/js.
