Hi,
Have you tried getting the script to write the file to disk
Yes
can this file be retrieved by the clients correctly?
Yes, I've written that file to the /tmp-Dir, copied it to the HTTPD-root-directory accessed it directly and could download it just fine.
have you tried having the script simultaniously write a copy of the file and return it to the client?
No, I am using the following code:
my $tar = Archive::Tar->new;
# ...
# in a loop:
$tar->add_files("$filename");
# ...
my $data = $tar->write();
print $q->header(-type => 'application/octet-stream',
-attachment => "edi.tar");
print $data;
And remember: it works fine on two out of three machines. That is what makes me wonder so much.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
