Re^2: saving data locally in CGI script?

Thanks! Your idea made this even more compact:

    my $cgi = CGI->new();
    my $s = "Hi, Mom!\n";
    print $cgi->header(-type => 'text/csv', -attachment => 'filename.c
+sv', -Content-length => length($s));
    print $s;

Is it possible to generate the standard file-open dialog such that the filename can be changed?

To pick the name of the file to which to save? Your browser should do that already.	[reply]

Correct. The browser prompts to save the file using the (default) filename supplied by the server. Yet the standard file-open dialog (which is different than the one used here...) will allow the user to rename the file. How can I get this functionality? Thanks.	[reply]

You have a weird browser. I get a std dialog with FF and IE Or maybe you have your browser set not to ask you?	[reply]
