Ang Mga Monks!

I raped this code from BBQ to solve this problem (with thanks to Skeeve, benn and fglock; and yes, dear Skeeve, I learned a whole lot in the process!) I'm still a tried and true newbie for sure, but this was a great learning exercise (with one of the best lessons being How To RTFM. And like all good learning exercises (pmdev, I need a spell checker here!) it's left me with insite into great new things that I should learn. So I've been looking through the POD for CGI and can't find an answer to this question:

This code will send a generated file STDOUT:
# code ripped from perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=9277
chdir($filepath) || die "Unable to chdir to filepath";
my $filesize = -s $filename;

# print full header
print "Content-disposition: attatchment; filename=$filename\n";
print "Content-Length: $filesize\n";
print "Content-Type: application/x-tar\n\n";

# open in binmode
open(READ,$filename) || die;
binmode READ;

# stream it out
binmode STDOUT;
while (<READ>) { print;    }
close(READ);

The following code will print an HTML "just in case" page:
my $q = CGI -> new();
print $q -> header( "text/html" ),
      $q -> start_html (-title => "File Download",
                            -bgcolor => "#ffffcc" ),
      $q -> p ( "If the file does not begin to dowload automatically i
+t can be downloaded <a href=\"$filepath$filename\">here</a>." ),
      $q -> p ( "<a href=../foo.html>Back to foo</a>"),
      $q -> p ( "<a href=../index.html>Bar Home</a>"),
      $q -> end_html;

So the question finally is: How can a script be written to send a file and print an HTML page (or vice versa), or more basically, can a single script send two types of Content-Types or headers?

Cheers!
