Hi AnomalousMonk,

thanks for your reply !
Warnings seem to be disabled somehow, since I am not receiving any of these
when running the script. Yet I am aware of the fact, that I should use "strict".
I must admit that I did not get rid of the bad habit of not declaring my
variables throughout all these years ...

To reply to your question: I think (!) I am not using FTP, since I am offering
and sending the file through the recipients browser. For that I am switching binary
mode on. Here is the critical code of the prescript running the download. 

sub download {


use CGI;

$html=new CGI;


print $html->header(-type => 'application/octet-stream', -attachment =
+> $_[1]);
        
    open($peunter, "<", $_[0].$_[1]);
    binmode($peunter);
#     while (read($pointer,$bytes,1024)) {
#             print $bytes;
#     }
    @data = <$peunter>;
    
    close($peunter);
    
    print "@data";


}
