Well, then I'll assume apache/perl/cgi works. Are you sure the file paths are correct? The code to make them looks slightly convoluted to me. Are you also sure you want to lowercase the whole file path? Make sure you check the result of open(), like open my $fh,"<",$whatever or die $!

Also, you're missing a blank line at the end of the headers.

Also also, this code will allow anyone to download any file off the server that the webserver has access to.

update: and please use strict, it can catch typos that will take you (or us!) quite some time to find.

update 2: its "content-disposition: attachment; filename=whatever" note the semi-colon and the lack of quotes.
