After re-implementing this by hand about a dozen times now, I've created
a package to deal with it in a single method call. [0]Win32::WebBrowser
exports a single method, open_browser(), that pops open the default
browser in a detached process and points it at a URL.
Who knows, maybe it'll make the [1]Strawberry Perl dist...

I'm one or two test runs away from completing the image-generation
elements of the new [0]Perl::Dist implementation.
This means I will be able to do distribution releases in .zip form for
people to test (they won't have the .exe or .msi installer).
While I continue onwards to finish the re-implementation of the .exe
install generation, I'd like to get some feedback from people on any
modules that they would like to come pre-installed with [1]Strawberry
Perl.
Up to this point, I've wanted to limit the extra modules in Strawberry to
just toolchain modules, and create a separate "Chocolate Perl" that
bundles a whole ton of extras.
But feedback from Strawberry users seems to show there's a preferred
middle group, with some small set of modules bundled that are otherwise
very difficult to install (Expat and libxml are the biggest two
requested).
I'd add SQLite to that list, but unfortunately [2]DBD::SQLite is
currently broken on Win32 due to a forking (and thus failing) test.
What else would people like to come pre-installed with Strawberry, other
than toolchain modules like [3]PAR::Dist.
