Launching Mozilla from this chatterbox client is easy. Unless you are using Win32 you will want to comment out that portion of the code and add something like the following:
my $pid;
if (!defined($pid = fork)) {
warn "cannot fork: $!";
return;
} elsif ($pid) {
warn "begat $pid";
return; # I’m the parent
}
exec 'mozilla', "$url";
This patch will launch the buttonpress event in Mozilla. Each press will launch a new browser with a separate process ID. Works for me!
Update I wanted each buttonpress to open the link in a new tab. This is done with a simple modification to the exec:
exec "mozilla -remote \"openurl($url,new-tab)\"";

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).
