I'm not exactly sure what you want either, but no module is needed for:
system ('start', 'C:\progra~1\intern~1\IEXPLORE.exe', 'http://yahoo.com');
opening the browser to a certain URL on your desktop.
Bill's way will download the HTML into a file which is certainly useful
many times. I just did that myself as a matter of fact :) Thanks again Bill.
On the other hand if you're talking CGI, to forward the user to another
url, simply print the Location header with the URL to the new location:
print "Location: http://yahoo.com/index.html\n\n";;
And you may be looking for OLE and a COM object. That I'm working on but
don't know how to do yet.
