mapserver and database connectivity.

Greetings,

I am wondering if it is possible to send information to mapserver from a
database (PostGresql).

 I'm using the Pg perl module to build a web interface to my PostGres
database so users can query and display the data set.  The next logical step
would be to send the results to Mapserver somehow and plot them on my
basemap -- or perhaps create a tranparent gif of the coordinates that could
be overlayed on the base map.  Has anyone had any experience  with this sort
of functionality?

Thanks,
Rob Chavez
