Hi,

thanks to all, the header_type('none') is a much better workaround on
the customer's machines at the moment because it uses the lib as it is.

For the future I'd be glad though a to have more integrated solution.

Well, err, this customer ships 100-150 MB Zip archives with demo

 I would like to see a more elegant solution, such as your patch and lib 
 idea implemented into cgiapp, as long as the memory situation is taken 
 into consideration and the possibility to provide file specs (size, MIME 
 type, expiration headers, etc).

We could give a named parameter list to that method, providing all
that (optional information).

I've not seen the plugin specs yet (mentioned in the other mail), but
when there's no need to bloat the main package with it, we could supply
other comfort things like a mimetype detection, for example...

 One question: if you are just checking for a GLOB, will that catch class 
 based file handles like the IO::* family?

Good point, I never used IO::*, so I can't tell.
Objects of the FileHandle class work fine.
