It would probably help if you could show us a simple example of what you're trying and what is wrong with it. :) I'm not sure I entirely understand what you're doing. If you're just returning <link href="blah" /> and <img src="blah" /> tags to the user agent then relative paths should work fine, as long as the path in the tags is relative to the current Web page. For example, if the current Web page is http://foo/bar/baz.html and it references css/main.css and images/logo.png then those files should exist as http://foo/bar/css/main.css and http://foo/bar/images/logo.png on the server. :) It doesn't sound like a Perl problem, but an HTML/server problem. :) Please elaborate. :) -- Brandon McCaig <http://www.bamccaig.com/> <bamcc...@gmail.com> V zrna gur orfg jvgu jung V fnl.
