There is no way to set STATUS OFF on labels explicitly, but there are a
few tricks you can do, like setting LABELITEM to an empty or invalid
value... (e.g.  $layer->set("labelitem", "") ) ... since there won't be
any label value then the labels won't show up.  You could also try
setting LABELMAXSCALE to a very small value...
