Well, you could follow the other methods of determining desktop and cycle
through the typical linux commands found:

eg:
----
    if ($^O =~ m/MSWin32/i) {
        @cmd = qw(cmd /c start);
    } elsif ($^O =~ m/darwin/i &&
             -x '/usr/bin/open') { # MacOS X vs. just Darwin
        @cmd = 'open';
    } elsif (-x '/usr/bin/kfmclient') {
        @cmd = qw(kfmclient exec);
    } elsif (-x '/usr/bin/gnome-open') {
        @cmd = 'gnome-open';
    } elsif (-x '/usr/bin/gvfs-open) {
        @cmd = 'gvfs-open';
    } elsif (-x '/usr/bin/xdg-open') {
        @cmd = 'xdg-open';
    } else {
        errorExit "Sorry, I do not know how to start your browser.\nManual
URL: $url"
    }
----
