Yep - using cgi.pm

It appears to happen on login pages, which of course means that nothing

Mike,
  Just because you are using cgi.pm doesn't mean you are outputting the
correct header.  If you "Save the file" that is downloading and then
open it in a text editor, what is in the file?  What is the first item
in the file?

Thanks,

Andy
