I don't recall dos liking long names or spaces in them, so here goes, tried and true: my $file = 'd:/My Documents/xxxl.html';
$file = Win32::GetShortPathName("$file");
system("start $file");
# the above opens $file in the default browser or currently open brows
+er
# the below opens $file in a new copy of iexplore
my $file = 'd:/My Documents/xxxl.html';
my $browser = 'c:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe';
$browser = Win32::GetShortPathName("$browser");
system("$browser $file");
# or system("start $browser $file");
UPDATE:i also tried lolindraths method, and it'll work assuming you have a short pathname(8.3 format or something). Start works equally as well:)
my $Result = `start d:\\MyDocu~1\\xxxl.html`;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
