This might work better:
This is the code, rename it to your script name and make it accessable
(backup your old one)
Also, make sure the path to perl is correct. To see type:
'which perl'
|
\/
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
###
# perl script to start netscape
###
# this may need quotes around the path, use double quotes
system (/usr/bin/netscape);
#end of code
the script calls the system to execute the command.
It should work, let me know if it doesn't. If you want to learn more about
perl go to www.perl.com
