i think, the most simple way to do this is to make the
cgi script write the csv file somewhere under the webroot,
and then return normal html page with a link to this file

eg.
you write csv to /var/www/html/csv/a.csv
and script returns a page with link: http://hostname/csv/a.csv
(where the webroot is /var/www/html)

you can also include in header of the page the line
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="1; url=http://hostname/csv/a.csv">
so the download will start automatically (after 1 second)
