Or

my $browser = Net::Browser::Firefox( $url );
my $browser = Net::Browser::InternetExplorer( $url );

Is there a reason why you want to pass it as a parameter? If so, it
sounds like you want to do something with plug ins, e.g.

Otherwise, in the new of Net::Browser you try to use
Net::Browser::YourBrowser, if ok, you call new, and return the instance.
