I'm not even sure this is a Perl question really but this is my problem

I have a little program in Perl for downloading high resolution photographs from my site as the ones displayed are low resolution for fast loading - and on the web you really don't need high resolution

Currently you can download one photo at a time and it works fine.

I was asked if I couldn't make it possible to download more than one at a time so I had a go. But no matter what I do the browser will only download the first one. all the code runs but there is only one download

This is the relevant code I execute many times

print STDOUT qq(Content-type: application/force-download\n); print STDOUT qq(Content-Disposition:attachment;filename=$photo\n\n); print @fileLines;

Has anyone any idea why this should happen?
