Hello not sure what is going on here. I have a standard xampp install on win XP, with the updated install of perl - which is activeperl 5.8.8. I have some test code to send a pdf from the cgi to the browser as follows:
#!C:/Program Files/xampp/perl/bin/perl print "Content-Type:application/pdf\n"; print "Content-Disposition:attachment;filename=test3.pdf\n\n"; my $files_location; my $ID; my @fileholder; $files_location = "C:\Data\Perl"; open(DLFILE, "<$files_location\test.pdf"); binmode(DLFILE); binmode(STDOUT); @fileholder = <DLFILE>; close (DLFILE); print @fileholder; ==== When I run this, I get the save as dialog. Whether I save or open directly, the resulting data is deemed as corrupt by acrobat. If I access the file directly via apache rather than the cgi, it works fine. To make sure the code was OK, I ran the same code (apart from the paths and the binmode) on a unix install - and it worked fine. I also tried an equivalent version of PHP via the xampp install - worked fine. So this seems to be a perl issue on win32. Has anyone got a clue as to what the problem could be?
