Mapscript (Perl) question

[Robert Chavez]

It's creating a new mapObj out of "filename.map" (which is your already existing
map file).

I'm actually having a problem with this in the latest mapscript implementation.
Mapscript dies on the $map = new mapObj call where it did not in the previous
implementation.  My map file hasn't changed and runs fine in mapserv, but not
mapscript.  Has anyone run across this problem?
