I'm using the perl DBD (1.06) and DBI (1.14) and the Oracle 8.1.7 database to generate dynamic webpages using data pulled from the database. I would like to know if there is a way to click on a link on a generated webpage, pull the document from a BFILE (*.pdf, *.doc, *.xls) in a table and have it use the browsers MIME type to open it. In essense, have it act like you clicked on a pdf link on a webpage and have the browser fire up Adobe Acrobat.

TIA
