hi all, I have 2 files that I need to let ppl dl. I have seen a couple examples here of how to do this, but I get the name of the script that I am using as the filename when the dl box pops. Any ideas on how to get around this? Thanks in advance, Jim 
# $filepath is the directory 
# $filename is the name of the file 
my ($filepath,$filename) = @_; 
chdir($filepath) || return(0); 
my $filesize = -s $filename; 

# print full header 
print "Content-disposition: inline; filename=$filename\n";
print "Content-Length: $filesize\n"; 
print "Content-Type: application/octet-stream\n\n"; 

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

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

# should always return true 
return(1);
