When I tried php -r "echo phpinfo();" | grep -i mapscript on the command 
line nothing came up, and when I tried perl -Mapscript -e '' I got 
"can't find" errors, so I guess that means that mapscript is not on 
board. Thanks for the help; I think I know where to go from here. (If 
not, then I'll be back.)
