Thanks Bill. It works from the command line and in a batch file, but I
can't get it to work using Perl's system command:

system (1, "start http://www.perl.com";);

The above works fine with filenames, including HTML documets which
launch a browser.

Any ideas, what I need so it will work from Perl?

Btw, I used this for email addresses:
start mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

It works for MAPI, but I'm not familar with other ways that Windows
uses to associate mail clients. I don't have Outlook installed. Does
anybody know more?

Thanks,

Marcus Friedlaender
