Roberto,

Generally speaking there isn't much architectural documentation for MapServer.
So you are reduced to "reading the source".  Much of the souce is written in
a relatively straight forward way for a C programmer, and much of it has
respectible inline comments.

If you have fairly specific questions, you might also get some good info
by asking here on the list.  But obviously your questions will need to be
pretty focused if you hope someone will respond.

Good luck,
