See Re: How to start default browser on Windows?. Note that this opens the user's default browser, rather than IE necessarily, but I suspect most of your users would consider that a good thing. system works too, but IIRC it pops up a console window (unless you're already in one), which may be unseemly. | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |

I'm not sure that this is the most efficient way to do it, but this seems to work.
use strict;
system (1,'start http://www.msn.com:8080');
I tested it and it opened a new tab for me in Firefox, but that's my default browser, so if IE is your default, it should be fine.
HTH!
Revolution. Today, 3 O'Clock. Meet behind the monkey bars.
I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code
