NAME
WWWBrowser - platform independent means to start a WWW browser
SYNOPSIS
use WWWBrowser;
WWWBrowser::start_browser($url, -oldwindow => 1);
DESCRIPTION
start_browser($url [, %args])
Start a web browser with the specified URL. The process is started in background.
The following optional parameters are recognized:
-oldwindow => $bool
Normally, the URL is loaded into a new window, if possible. With "-oldwindow" set to a false window, "WWWBrowser" will try to re-use a
browser window.
-browser => $browser
Use (preferebly) the named browser $browser. See "CONFIGURATION" for a some browser specialities. This option will only work for unix.
CONFIGURATION
For unix, the global variable @WWWBrowser::unix_browsers can be set to a list of preferred web browsers. The following browsers are handled
specially:
lynx, w3m
Text oriented browsers, which are opened in an "xterm", "kvt" or "gnome-terminal" (if running under X11). If not running under X11,
then no background process is started.
kfmclient
Use "openURL" method of kfm.
netscape
Use "-remote" option to re-use a running netscape process, if possible.
_default_gnome
Look into the "~/.gnome/Gnome" configuration file for the right browser.
_default_kde
NYI.
The following variables can be defined globally in the main package:
$os Short name of operating system ("win", "mac" or "unix").
&status_messages
Error handling function (instead of default "warn").
