in thread system("start ...") has 30 secs delay
Well...
Firstly, I didn't actually mean to use "start" to start Notepad... just do it directly so that no other system programs are involved - less variables in the equation.
Second, now you can try this:
(note no "start" command here)system("c:\\program files\\internet explorer\\iexplore.exe $File");
If you still have 30-sec delay, then the problem is in Perl starting IE. You can try starting a different browser to check it further. If not... just use it that way as it will mean that the system uses these 30 seconds to find the application that should be used with this extension.
