I made several changes, all of which valid. I've uploaded the program with the new changes, and suddenly it stopped working, giving me (with cgi::carp and fatalstobrowser) this error: Execution of /path-to/downloads.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

Have you tried running a perl -c check of it? Have you added:

use warnings;
use strict;
use diagnostics;
[download]

to your code?

Please include your code here rather than providing a link to the outside world... thanks.
