Here is a more "feature-filled" script that you can derive some ideas from (for linux). More ideas are here-> Perl Windows Open a Web Browser
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Cwd; my $pid; my @docs; if(@ARGV){ my $cwd = getcwd; foreach my $arg(@ARGV){ if( $arg =~ /^http:\/\/.*$/ ){ push @docs, $arg } else{ push @docs , "file://$cwd/$arg" } } } else{ #load defaults @docs = qw( file:///home/zentara/1down/1GET http://www.google.com ); } # Look for instance of mozilla. `mozilla -remote "ping()"`; if ( $? ) { # Error, mozilla is not running. if (!defined($pid = fork())) { # Undef branch of fork: die "Cannot fork: $!"; } elsif ($pid == 0) { # Child branch of fork: `mozilla`; # Start new instance.... } else { # Parent branch of fork: do { `mozilla -remote "ping()"`; #sleep 1; select(undef,undef,undef,.5); } while ( $? ); #sleep 1; #give mozilla some time select(undef,undef,undef,.5); load_docs(); $pid=waitpid($pid, 0); # Wait for the pseudo-process # containing the new mozilla instance # to end. } } else { load_docs(); } ############################################################### sub load_docs { my $element; foreach (0..$#docs){ if ( $docs[$_] =~ /~file:\/\// ) { `mozilla -remote "openFile($docs[$_], new-tab)"` ; #`mozilla -remote "openFile($docs[$_], new-window)"` ; } else { `mozilla -remote "openURL($docs[$_], new-tab)"` ; # `mozilla -remote "openURL($docs[$_], new-window)"` ; } } }

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Cogito ergo sum a bum

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.
