a problem with mapscript

[Stephen Lime]

As near as I can tell this isn't a MapScript issue but is related somehow to
communications- sockets, communications ports or console/shell. I haven't
been able to track down any possible causes or fixes. Try searching
Google for the phrase "Inappropriate ioctl for device" and you'll see what
I mean.

I have the *identical* problem.  I altered the line which open the mapfile 
to check for errors, ie:

my $map = new mapObj('/www/htdocs/gis/mapserv/wmp/wmp-dev.map') or die 
"Unable to open map file: $!\n";

and get:

Unable to open mapfile: Inappropriate ioctl for device
