fglock, What I'm really trying to figure out is how to put both together. I can use

print "Content-disposition: attatchment; filename=$filename\n";
print "Content-Length: $filesize\n";
print "Content-Type: application/x-tar\n\n";
[download]

as a header for the file (I want to send the file once the user clicks a submit button). I could also use a standard <code>content-type: text/html<code> to send an html file with an anchor link to the file.

-but-

If I send the file then try to print an HTML page I get an error, and if I try to print the HTML page then send the file the file's header get rendered as HTML. Multi-Part headers were suggested, I'm just having trouble figuring those out.
Cheers,
Petras
