My apologies, you can't use q[] with \n, it must be qq[]. So this should work:

print qq[Content-type: text/plain\n] .
qq[Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=results.xml\n\n].

or even more readable:

print <<END;
Content-type: text/plain
Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=results.xml

END
