A bit tidier and more reliable:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use constant URL => 'openURL(%s, new-tab)';
use constant MAIL => 'mailto(%s)';
sub abs_path {
require File::Spec;
File::Spec->rel2abs(shift);
}
$_ = shift || '';
my $command =
m!^(?:ftp|http|file)://! ? sprintf URL, $_ :
-r($_) ? sprintf URL, 'file://'.abs_path($_) :
s!^(www\..+)!http://$1! ? sprintf URL, $_ :
s!^(ftp\..+)!ftp://$1! ? sprintf URL, $_ :
s/^mailto:// ? sprintf MAIL, $_ :
die "usage: $0 (filename|URL|mailto:foo\@bar.com)\n";
exec 'mozilla', -remote => sprintf($command, $_);
This checks -r early - thus, you can use it to invoke Mozilla on a directory called www.foo.bar/ without the scheme guessing getting in your way. It also handles URLs with ftp.* hosts nicely.
