Drew,


Please consider reporting the issue with setOption to the MapServer
Bugzilla http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs.  Make sure to note that
it's a 4.0 bug.  Hopefully other Perl MapScript users can help confirm
the issue.  It's working for me (Python) and we could get it fixed
in a 4.0.1 release.

cheers,
Sean
