HTML::...:Win32(3pm)
π NAME π
HTML::Display::Win32 β bestie, this is the lil module that displays a URL through the default application for HTML πΈ
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
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. π
π BUGS π
Currently does not work. π 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 π - digging through the registry to see whether a suitable application is hanging out in there π
lowkey neither one is done yet, so. yeah. no cap.
