I have my doubts on what your "relative url" looks like. This format should work, as it's copied directly from a PPD in a zip file at <http://www.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/6xx-builds-only/>: <CODEBASE HREF="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread/DBI.tar.gz" /> where "MSWin32-x86-multi-thread" is a subdirectory of where your PPD file is located, and the DBI.tar.gz is in that subdirectory. -- Bart.
