Pietro,

MapServer should be able to reproject the rasters as long as you define
the original file projection on the LAYER, and then define your desired
output projection on the MAP.  If the .dem files are actually USGS DEM
files then world files of any sort are likely to be ignored by GDAL
though I believe that MapServer actually will pick up the .wld and use it
to override the GDAL returned extents.

Is there a reason you are trying to setup a world file?

Best regards,
