Here is the sub I am using:

sub download_method {
        my $self = shift;
        my $q = $self->query;
        my $file = $q->param('path');
        my ($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid,$rdev,$size,
    $atime,$mtime,$ctime,$blksize,$blocks)
            = stat $file;
            
        $self->header_props(-type=>'octet/stream', -attachment=>$file,
-length=>$size);        
}

The save dialog appears, I save the file, but the resulting file is
always of size 3, no matter what file I download. Do I need to do
something else here?
