CGI outputting non-standard headers

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

Dear monks, here's my question: When a CGI outputs a header with a content-type that the browser wants to download, the file actually downloaded takes the name of the cgi script.... Is there a way to set the filename or at least the extension? Thanks
