It can't be done. The web browser decides when and how to open windows,
your script can only send output to the browser and hope it does
something vaguely like what you want. Some web browsers don't
support multiple windows, for example.

You could send the browser some Javascript and on sufficiently insecure
browsers that Javascript could make the browser open a new window
and make a HTTP request which starts another script.
