Comment (by aboudreault):

 * the units in the map file are meters
  * The problem was effectively related to geos. My MapServer wasnt built
 with it. In the MapServer/php/Measure.php file, we use the method of
 ShapeObj class getLength and this method is only available if
 php/mapscript is built with GEOS library.
    {{{
    $distance = $shapeObj->getLength($shapeObj);
    }}}
