large scale image tiling

[cinco]

Hi, i have a question about tiff photos
I read the answer Steve gave to tom (see below) but i am not quite sure howe to 
create such a layer. 
I made a polygon shapefile and put in the corresponding dbf file the imagepath 
and name of the tiff files. 
I also made the world files. 
My question is how to put all of this in the mapfile?
has anyone an example?
thanks in advance 
Cinco

MapServer tile indexes are themselves shapefiles. You can use MapScript
to build that index. From within perl/python or whatever you'd:

  1) create a polygon shapefile

  2) create a corresponding dbf file with at least one item to hold image path 
and name

  3) for each world file

    - create a polygon object from the world file coordinates
    - write the polygon to the shapefile
    - write the location information to the dbf file

  4) close the files
