perl-在非默认浏览器中打开浏览器中的启动URL

Question

I try to launch my default browser and open to a specified URL as suggested here using something like:

use Browser::Open qw( open_browser );

my $url = 'http://www.google.com/';
open_browser($url);

But it opens it in Firefox even though Chromium is set to my default browser:

How do I get it to open in Chromium?

Answer 1

Perl has no concept of default browser. As you can see in its documentation , Browser::Open will go down the list of known browser invocation commands and use the first one that works. Firefox apparently happens to be higher on the list than Chromium.

If you want to invoke Chromium, then just invoke Chromium yourself. Something like this should do:

system("chromium \"$url\"")

(you might have to change the name of the executable, depending on your system and PATH )
