in reply to $Session from cgi BinaryWrite from PerlScript

In answer to question 2, a quick and easy way to transmit the data as a CSV file (comma seperated database format). This can be transmitted as text and Excel sets up CSV as one of it's own file types.

Thinking about it, this will probably preclude the need for using CGI... you can generate the data from your asp page.

Of course, not knowing what type of information you wish to send, this is only a guess ;)

    That would preclude any formatting to the data, fonts, bold, etc

    Anyway, what "Content-Type" and "Content-Disposition" would your solution entail ?

      Yes, it would preclude fonts etc for it is a data only format. The content-type: text/plain
