Maybe a simple problem, but difficult to answer without knowing on what system, what webserver and what server-configuration you are running this.

Assuming that you are generating the web-page dynamically with Perl, I suggest that you first try it with a static page and see if the link to the movie in that page works. When you have that working, then try to get your script to output the same link. If it doesn't work it could be a permission problem or it could have something to do with relative and absolute file paths. Hint: try it first with the full absolute file-path.
