perl/shell script that is supposed to download file?

[Zac5]

Hi,

I am using the following shell through a perl script to download an image from a location on the server and prompt the client to 'Save as' on their machine. The script is called on the click of a button. So far a file is created on the users machine but it is 0 bytes, can someone help me complete this please, what is missing?
-------------------------------------------------

#! /usr/local/bin/perl

$| =1;

print "Content-type: image/jpg\n";
print "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=test.jpg\n";
print "Content-Description: image download\n\n";

chdir("/home/user/

http://www/htdocs/me/images");

------------------------------------------------

Thanks,

Zac
