Mapserv in command line mode ?

[kenboss]

Yes, perl mapscript is the answer you're looking for.  You'll find it in your 
source distribution under mapscript/perl.  You'll have to build it yourself; the 
current configure script doesn't handle mapscript yet.  There are a couple of 
useful scripts in the examples subdirectory, documentation is online at 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/mapscript.html, and a working app is available for 
inspection in the mapserver test suite at 
http://arachnid.dnr.state.mn.us/ms_test/.

Have fun,
