automatically downloading files into a certain directory

[Anette Seiler]

Dear members of the list!

I want to do something where I am not sure it can be done with perl...

Basically a user should klick on a button on a website. Then the script should create a file with certain information from a database on the webserver (that's easy) and that file should automatically be downloaded into a certain directory on the user's computer (that is the difficult part). The user is not computer illaterate, but he should not bother about downloading and choosing certain directories (as he will have to download hundreds of these files) and definitely not about ftp or something like that.

Well, as I said, it is the downloading part that I don't know how to do. Can it be done with perl or should I look at something else - maybe javascript?

Greetings

Anette Seiler
