Apache::File and setting filename

Hi,

Is it possible with Apache::File to set the name of the filename?
(Apache/1.3.31 (Unix) mod_perl/1.29 configured)

I have

print "Content-type: application/octet-stream\n\n" ;
$file = "myfile_to_send.doc" ;
$fh = Apache::File->new($file) or warn "Can't open $file $!";

$r->headers_out->set("Content-Disposition" => "inline; filename=$file") 
;                       $r->send_http_header ;
$r->send_fd($fh) ;
It sends the file ok, the user is prompted to save the document as the 
same name of the action of my htm form.

I want to have in the interface two links for opening a file: one to 
open and one to download

Regards
Scott

For the record:

$fh = Apache::File->new($file) or warn "Can't open $file $!";
$r->content_type('application/octet-stream');   
$r->headers_out->set('Content-Disposition' => "attachment; 
filename=$file");                   
$r->send_http_header ;
$r->send_fd($fh) ;

works fine.
