Syed,
Which browser are you using? If it is MSIE 4.01, it likely won't work;
see my reference to the KB article below.
Here's an example of downloading a CSV file with `CGI.pm'. Works in
MSIE 5.0 (and hopefully 5.5) as well as Netscape 4.7x. Note, however,
the hourglass problem in MSIE 5.0 that I mention below; looks like it
may be a bug that has been fixed in later versions of the browser.

# Hourglass problem with MSIE 5.00.2314.1003 (on WinNT 4, sp6a,
# but not on Win2000, 5.00.2920.0000); don't know whether the

use strict;
use CGI qw(:cgi);
my $filename = "foobar.csv";
my $content = <<"*DATA*";
"1a","1b","1c"\cM
"2a","2b","2c"\cM
"3a","3b","3c"\cM
*DATA*
print
header(
-type => 'application/octet-stream',
-content_disposition => qq(attachment; filename="$filename"),
-content_length => length($content),
-expires => 'now',
);
binmode STDOUT;
print $content;
__END__
