Perl/Mapscript and mod_perl ?

[Doyon, Jean-Francois]

Hmmmm OK, well I'm looking around the SWIG site and not seeing anything, and
there are no patches it seems. Maybe th eproblem was fixed in the current
release ? Do you use the latest release ?

Apache::PerlRun huh ? OK , I'll go take a look at that one ...

As for the reentrancy thing, I haven't heard that word in a LONG time :) Any
chance you could explain what that might mean to me ?

I'm gonna give it a try anyways, just to see ...

Thanks as allways !
J.F.
