[mapserver-dev] Using area expression in label text

Hi Devs,
I wanted to add label text to a layer to display the computed area value in
the label. Tried using this expression:
TEXT (area([shape]))
but that calculates the area in pixel space which is useless for the
purpose. I've also tried to utilize [map_cellsize] in the expression to
convert the area to map units, but [map_cellsize] always returns 0 in this
use case.
Can anyone explain how to use area in the text expression to get correct
result?
Thanks,
Tamas
