Hi, I got it. It's working fine now. Thanks almut for the suggestion, it worked, but in this case I need to do double task ... . 1. pulled data into the file and save it. 2. again read the data and print it to STDOUT .. for the download purpose. Instead if I go for anchor tag `print $cgi->a({-href=>"filename to download","some text"});` [download] I directly download the file upon clicking the link Thanks again to you all for your help	[reply] [d/l]
