This should work:

  use Gnome2::VFS -init;
  my $type = Gnome2::VFS::Mime::Type->new ('text/html');
  my $app = $type->get_default_application;
  die 'no app found' unless defined $app;
  $app->launch ('http://google.com');

I'm unable to get it working with anything older than libgnomevfs 2.10,
though.  But that might be due to the incomplete setup of my sandboxes.

Also, due to changes in libgnomevfs 2.10 that broke the bindings, this
might need the newly released Gnome2::VFS 1.081.
