How to start dowloading from a CGI script?

[rtb1]

Hi,

I have a page where people have to fill in personal details before they can download some files. The idea is to keep a log file from those who downloaded the files.

As I’m not at all good with Perl I succeeded at my surprise to get most of this to work! But there is one thing I can’t figure out to do and I don’t even know where to start:

When all the personal details are filled in correctly the script needs to start the download action like <a href=&quot;something.zip&quot;> does from an html page.

How should I write this command in Perl?

Hope somebody can help me with this,

raoul

Somewhere in the script, where you wish to have the script send the visitor, once they have submitting the form insert:

print &quot;Location:

http://www.somewhere.com/file.zip\n\n&quot;;

This must be called before you print &quot;Content-type: text/html\n\n&quot;;

Thanks PUMP, I'm going to try this!
