Mozilla - C - and perl

Hello everyone.

I really need some help. I was wondering if it was possible to open and execute a mozilla web browser through c code possibly using a fork/ can this be done/
If it can, some source code or idas would be helpful!

If your going to use C and not C++, than you posted in the wrong section.

I am actually using C++, small typo, I was typing quickly.
But do you have any ideas?

Danielle

It's a piece of cake :-)

Code:

---

#!usr/bin/perl -w

use Errno qw(EAGAIN);

FORK: {
  if ($pid = fork) {
    # Do something
    print "Parent closing\n";
    exit(0);
  }
  elsif (defined $pid) {
    # Open a browser
    exec '/usr/bin/mozilla';
  }
  elsif ($! == EAGAIN) {
    sleep 5;
    redo FORK;
  }
  else {
    die "Can't fork: $!\n";
  }
}
