[Mapserver-users] scripting languages

[Tyler Mitchell]

If you need functionality beyond what the CGI version provides - then you 
can use MapServer functionality within another programming environment.
Some find this particularly useful when designing a certain type of "look 
and feel" to their site - with certain types of interaction with the user 
that CGI might not do so well or allow.  The scripting option is also used 
to integrate mapserver functionality into other types of web applications 
where basic mapping and querying is not enough.  For example, you could 
process some information before asking mapserver to draw it.
