In addition to setting the type with the Content-Type header, you can
also set the filename with:

    Content-Disposition: inline; filename=foo.xls

I think the header_add syntax would be:

    $self->header_add(
        -content_disposition => 'inline; filename=foo.xls'
    );

Maybe that will help?
