Puneet,

I can't answer about the status of Perl MapScript 3.5 docs, but I know
that Perl MapScript has changed since 3.3 so the old 3.3 docs won't be
complete enough for sure.

About your app, I think reconfiguring your PHP as a CGI is still the
best route (it's not that big a change, all your stuff should still work
after).  First because you won't have to rewrite your app, but mostly
because we're still waiting to hear from someone that has succesfully
used Perl MapScript on Windoze... a few users have managed to compile
it, but they all ran into problems when they tried using it AFAIK. 
Maybe someone has had more success recently, but I don't remember
hearing anything about that.
