In ActivePerl on Windows, how do I open a browser to some URL? In Python, there is webbrowser.open(url), but I can’t seem to find the Perl equivalent.

If I type this big integer: puts 9997836544.class.to_s and compile with ruby 1.86, it reports expectedly: BigNum while JRuby (1.1.4 in Netbeans) reports surprisingly: Fixnum I thought Java had a BigInteger class to correspond to the BigNum class in Ruby. If so, I would have expected JRuby and ruby to produce the same output.
