Are you sure that this is a system path to file? You can't to use
URL path. For example (on unix) if your file test.zip is stored in
/var/www/htdocs/test/ then you must use

my $file='/var/www/htdocs/test/test.zip';

I think you can use indifferently full qualified path or relative one
from root or the script itself (what I've done here)

Yes, if course. I wanted to accent that must be used system path instead of "http path" ;-)
But be careful that perl script is in some directory but can be run (by Apache) from other directory. In this case the relative path is not good idea. I'm used to use some "our" variable where I have stored absolute path to web root directory and all other paths I create from this variable. For example:

# virtual server for domain mydomain.com
our $webroot = '/var/www/mydomain/home/';
....
my $downloadpath = $webroot . 'download/';

# virtual server for domain otherdomain.com
our $webroot = '/var/www/otherdomain/home/';
....
my $downloadpath = $webroot . 'download/';

I think you understand me ;-)
