I need to store the values from cgi output file to a pdf file. I am able to do that, but my problem is the pdf file name should be of the name which i give in the header part, but it's taking the script file name. Can anyone tell me how to do that. Below is the code which i give it in my script file. Thanks Monks for your valuable suggestion and regret if there is any discrepancies caused.

The file name is Script.pl 

#!/usr/bin/perl 

use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI;

my $query=new CGI;
my $mimetype='application/pdf';
my @a="test test test";

print $query->header(-expires=>'now', -type=$mimetype, -disposition=>"
+inline:filename=sample.pdf", -filename=>'sample.pdf');
print @a;
