I have a page that a user (owner of that particular site) can backup their database. This creates a file in which all information will be stored. As the hosting company we do periodical backups, this feature is basically for those who love to backup their data religiously (24.7). The file that is created is then stored onto the server. I would like the file to be stored onto their computer instead.

I figure the easiest way would be to store the file on the server, have the script download the file to their computer and then delete the file off of the server. I have searched the archives and couldn't seemed to find what I was particularly looking for. So I ask you perl monks for a gentle shove in the right direction (a module to use, a thought, etc.).
