Hi Pedro,

Actually I tried yesterday with that same world countries mapfile that
was used in the map images for the examples in the documentation, and I
was unsuccessful for your exact requirements.  (but I did notice a
mistake on that documentation page and fixed it yesterday!)  So your
question helped improve the documentation, but I am sorry to report that
I don't believe it is possible with MapServer.
