I've done this before. Here's how I did it:
print $self->query->header(
-type=>'application/vnd.ms-excel',
-attachment=> "file.xls",
);
# print file to stdout here...
exit;

Sure, I've broken a couple of C::A rules by printing and exiting in the run

follow the C::A structure to the letter and have a result is more complicated
to implement and understand.
