Here's your problem:

print "Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel\n";
#print "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename\n\n";
[download]

HTTP headers need to end in a double line break. Your Content-Type header has only one. Your Content-Disposition header would do the trick, but it's commented out.

perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'

You could try setting `Content-Disposition: inline`, but be aware that the Content-Disposition header is just advisory. The browser is free to do what it likes with the file: open it in an external program, save it to disk, or stir some eggs and cream into it and make it into a lovely soufflé. The inline disposition indicates that you'd like it to open within the browser window, but I don't think very many browsers are capable of doing that. Personally I'd format it as an HTML table and use a little Javascript trickery to allow people to select columns and copy them to the clipboard. `perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'`	[reply] [d/l]
