RE: Specify download file name
Hi Anish The following example works and I have tested it. use CGI; $cgiObject=new CGI; $filename=SRQ.zip; print $cgiObject-header(-charset='', -Expires='-1d' , -'Cache-Control'='private, max-age=0', -attachment= $filename, -type='application/octet-stream' ); open ZIPFILE, $filename || die Can't open $filename for reading; binmode (ZIPFILE); @file=ZIPFILE; print @file; close ZIPFILE; Thanks Prasanna -Original Message- From: Anish Kumar K.

But the issue is the file name it is coming as the filename...say when I download I am geting downloadwav.pl. which is the file name of the perl file. Is there a way I can specify a file name, It is a zip file.

RE: Specify download file name
Hi Anish Can you try adding the following to your $cgiObject-header ? -attachment='$filename.zip', And changing -type='application/zip' to -type='application/octet-stream' [PS : The above is not tested] Thanks Prasanna -Original Message- From: Anish Kumar K.
