    Thanks. I tested PDF::FromHTML as well and i guess these use the same idea behind. What I really want is to display HTML using real browser engines like IE/Firefox/Safari.
    
    Thanks for your info anyway.

      Something like this, you mean?

      use Mac::Glue;
      use Mac::InternetConfig; # GetICHelper
      use Mac::MoreFiles; # %Application
       
      my($id) = GetICHelper('http');
      my $app_path  = $Application{$id};  # or define path yourself ... this could potentially fail
      my $file_path = '/Users/pudge/Desktop/a.html';
       
      my $finder = new Mac::Glue 'Finder';
       
      my $file = $finder->obj(file => $file_path);
      my $app  = $finder->obj(file => $app_path);
       
      $file->open(using => $app);

        Thanks! Yeah, this is very close, except you code doesn't look like actually "printing" the HTML document. I'd like to automate the print process as well. Thanks for your code anyway. It's pretty helpful.

          Aha. Well, let's simplify by assuming Safari, then. Try:

          use Mac::Glue;
           
          my $file_url = 'file://localhost/Users/pudge/Desktop/a.html';
          my $safari = new Mac::Glue 'Safari';
           
          my $doc = $safari->make(new => 'document');
          $doc->prop('url')->set(to => $file_url);
          $doc->print;

          WWW::Selenium might be what you want. Cross-platform too. Right now the interface is a bit rough, but I'm working on making it easier to use with Test::WWW::Selenium::Catalyst.
