I want to open a URL, such as http://www.example.com/, at the end of a Perl script. I don’t want to access it with WWW::Mechanize but actually show the web page to the user in a graphical web browser.

    use Browser::Open qw( open_browser );

my $url = 'http://www.google.com/';
open_browser($url);

    If your OS isn’t supported, send a patch or a bug report.
