in reply to downloading an mp3 file through a Perl script

Try adding mp3 content type header: 
Content-type: audio/mp3
It is likely that some of your users' IE browser would default to a document type unless one is explicitly specified. 
Update: didn't realize you half answered your own question there, heh!
