  Description     : Perl module to open a browser in a given URL

The functions optionaly exported by Browser::Open allows you to open URLs in
the user browser.
.
A set of known commands per OS-name is tested for presence, and the first one
found is executed. With an optional parameter, all known commands are
checked.
.
The "open_browser" uses the system() function to execute the command. If you
want more control, you can get the command with the "open_browser_cmd" or
"open_browser_cmd_all" functions and then use whatever method you want to
execute it.

Note: This module is needed for updated libapp-nopaste-perl module.
