What you really want is to embed the Win32:InternetExplorer. module in your perlApp app.
Or something like that. It's a way to embed an IE in your App, and I think you can define processes. the problem you are experiencing I belive is that your browser sessions don't know how to handle the .exe conent type. Or if they do they are configured to not allow it to run. justa a few ideas. Marty p.s. (IMHO) it does sound a little like you might be trying to use the wrong tool for the job though. Maybe you could explain the spec a bit more. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brad Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 7:05 PM Subject: PerlApp > I would like to use PerlApp to create a freestanding web-based > application.
