[mapserver-users] Build Perl-Mapscript om Windows

Hello,

MS4W does not include Perl mapscript (it does include PHP, CSharp,
Python, and Java mapscript).  http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml

If you wish to fund the development time to add/test Perl mapscript into
MS4W you can contact me directly.  We did make some attempts years back,
but it would be great to dedicate some time on this to make it happen.
In general you'll find that PHP mapscript is the most widely used and
supported.

Hope that helps,

-jeff
