Something like this should work:
system ("start $filename");
or
system ("wordpad $filename");

I don't think WordPad will test whether the file was updated all the
time. Some editors test the file modification time and realod the
file when you switch to them, but wordpad will not be the case IMHO.
You will have to find something else or use Tk or gTk or wxPerl or
Win32::GUI to create your own window.

There is a reason for living. There must be. I've seen it somewhere.
It's just that in the mess on my table ... and in my brain
I can't find it.
