I can write out the image easy enough from perl, but the reference
imagemap capababilities would need to be generated seperately.  I was
just wondering about the possibilities from the standard CGI calls.  I
wondered about putting a URL in for the image designation for instance,
if that worked, then I could pass in a new reference map config via the
URL complete with new extents.

It might be easier in the end though, to just make it a seperate image
call to MapServer and handle the reference (non-mapserver) maps via PERL
directly.
