This is a function of the browser. A review of the HTTP standard reveals
that there is currently no official standard (to my knowledge) for the
server to inform the browser of the filename for a stream it sends. There
is however a fairly broadly accepted method, which I involves sending
lines as part of the headers, as in:
print "Content-type: $TYPE\n";
print "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$FILENAME\"\n\n";
You will need to set $TYPE and $FILENAME appropriately.
