jiewho has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

My cgi program generated a file. I want to put this file as a link on the web so that users can click the link to download. This seems to be such a common task on the web. Would anybody please show me a script example? When I searched CPAN for perl modules, it always points me to the lwp-download. To do this on the command line is straight forward, but how do I put this command in a url? Thanks,
