I have two world files that are associated with two different .pngs that 
should be very far apart, 50,000 meters according to the world files, 
but MapServer is rendering them one just a few meters apart, does anyone 
know why this might be?

World file 1:
4.553027622068700
0.000000000000000
0.000000000000000

World file 2:
2.891044962554800
0.000000000000000

Here is the pgrinfo command on the shapefile that was created, as you 
can see the extent only covers a small area
 > ogrinfo -al -so moc_pds_test.shp
