How can I open netscape navigator in Unix from perl script 1

[dmazzini]

Hi guys I would like to open Netscape Navigator in order to show an XML Document on UNIX HP Platform.

I did it in Windows using I.E.

use OLE;

sub open_ie {

$ie = CreateObject OLE "InternetExplorer.Application.1" ||
die "CreateObject: $!";
$ie->{Visible} = 1;
$ie->Navigate($xmlfilename);

}

It works in Windows platform. I am looking for the equivalent!

system(netscape $filename) doesn't work..It doesn't open the file, just netscape


Cheers!

Checking my threads..I have forgot to put the solution.

Open a web page:

sh /opt/Netscape/run-mozilla.sh netscape-bin

http://www.yahoo.com

Open a file:

sh /opt/Netscape/run-mozilla.sh netscape-bin /opt/Netscape/myfile.txt

Cheers
