Dear monks
I am still trying to download a file, and have this script, but for some reason its giving me an error message like this : The server can't open the file: Invalid argument and this is the html for the download of the file 
<html><head>
<title>Download Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="/cgi-bin/download.cgi">
<p>
  <select size="1" name="ID">
  <option value="0001.jpg">File One
  </option>
  <option value="file.zip">File Two
  </option>
</p>
  </select>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1">
</form>
  <br><br>...or here is an example of using a link to call the script:
+  
  <a href="/cgi-bin/download.cgi?ID=file.zip">Download File</a>
 
</body>
</html>

[download]
and here is the CGI for it 
#!c:\perl\bin\perl.exe

use CGI ':standard';
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); 

my $files_location; 
my $ID; 
my @fileholder;

$files_location = "c:\files\err";

$ID = param('ID');

if ($ID eq '') { 
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; 
print "You must specify a file to download."; 
} else {

open(DLFILE, "<$files_location/$ID") || Error('open', 'file'); 
@fileholder = <DLFILE>; 
close (DLFILE) || Error ('close', 'file'); 

print "Content-Type:application/x-download\n"; 
print "Content-Disposition:attachment;filename=$ID\n\n";
print @fileholder
}

sub Error {
      print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
    print "The server can't $_[0] the $_[1]: $! \n";
    exit;
}

Can someone help me to find out where is the error? Thanks
