You probably want a subclass of IO::File that will callback into your 
application as the file is streamed.  Keep in mind that this won't account 
for buffering between the app and webserver, the webserver and the load 
balancer, the load balancer and the user's ISP's front-end proxy, the user's 
ISP's front-end proxy and the user's TCP stack, the user's TCP stack and the 
web browser, the web browser and disk cache, and finally the disk cache and 
the user's disk.  Not as simple as it seems, is it? :)

You'd be better off just letting the user download the file as many times as 
it takes for, say, a week.
