[cgiapp] How to send pdf file?

Hi Michael,
thank you for your answer.
MIME headers are correct, but I still don't know how to send binary output through CGI::Application.
On "classic" way it is easy:
open(FILE, "<test.pdf");  
@fileholder = <FILE>;  
close (FILE);  

print "Content-Type: application/pdf\n";  
print "Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=test.pdf\n\n";
print @fileholder;


How to do it through CGI::Application?
