Hi Anish Can you try adding the following to your $cgiObject->header ?
-attachment=>'$filename.zip', And changing -type=>'application/zip' to -type=>'application/octet-stream' [PS : The above is not tested] Thanks Prasanna -----Original Message----- From: Anish Kumar K. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 11, 2006 3:43 PM To: beginners@perl.org Subject: Specify download file name Hi This is somewhat easy question I feel but for some reason I am not getting this The issue is I am using CGI to download a file, I am setting the header as this print $cgiObject->header(-type=>'application/zip',-charset=>'',-Expires=>'-1d' ,-'Cache-Control'=>'private, max-age=0'); the download works fine. But the issue is the file name it is coming as the filename...say when I download I am geting "downloadwav.pl". which is the file name of the perl file. Is there a way I can specify a file name, It is a zip file. I tried this $file_name="attachment.zip"; print "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename = $file_name\n\n"; Not working...any help Thanks Anish -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
