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`;

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
