I've had success using the following header:
Content-Type: application/octetstream\n
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename\n\n

You should be able to use the argument of 'none' to the CGIApp header_type()
method.
e.g. $self->header_type('none');
This functionality was added to CGIApp v3.1 on June 2nd. Something along the
lines of the following should do the trick:
-------------------
my $filename= 'the_pdf_file.pdf";
my $output = get_pdf_contents();
my $header= "Content-Type: application/octetstream\n";
$header .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename\n\n";
$self->header_type('none');
return $header.$output;
