πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

HTML::Display::Win32 β€” bestie, this is the lil module that displays a URL through the default application for HTML 🌸


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

my $browser = HTML::Display->new();
$browser->display("<html><body><h1>Hello world!</h1></body></html>");

okay so that's the dream, right? you make an object, you hand it a whole HTML string, and it goes and opens it in whatever app is the default for HTML. iconic concept. main character behavior. πŸ’…


πŸ’€ BUGS πŸ’€

Currently does not work. 😭 not me telling you the tea straight up but there it is. fr fr. it does NOT work right now.

to make it work you'd need either:

  • munging the tempfilename so it ends in .html (it's giving "just rename the file bestie"), or πŸŽ€
  • digging through the registry to see whether a suitable application is hanging out in there πŸ‘‘

lowkey neither one is done yet, so. yeah. no cap.
