I can no get other details from server. Sandal

Bad ju-ju that. You really need to know what the server itself is complaining about. Internal errors are usually logged to the server's logs. See if your system administrator can glean that information for you.

Suggestions

1. Try setting the permissions of the file you are trying to open to 777 temporarily and see if it runs
2. Try using adding the line:

   use CGI::Carp qw/ fatalsToBrowser /;
   [download]

   to your code and see what shows up on the browser. You will want to remove the qw/ fatalsToBrowser / once your code goes " production" as it can present an information leak later on.
3. Try substituting a plain text file for the executable and change your header to Content-type: text/plain and see if that works. There may be something configured on the server that will prevent you from pushing presenting executables, such as some form of draconian measures to prevent spread of viruses.

Hope this helps.
