I'm not sure, but try "-href=>'file:///c:/Program
Files/path_to_executable'" That might work. This assumes of course you
are trying to get the user to execute a program on their system, not the
server, correct. If you want the server to execute the code, you'll need
to make it a proper URL and make sure it works as a CGI program.
