problems compiling mapscript for perl

[Michael Hearne]

Last week I sent out the message below to the group.  I have yet to get
a response, so I'll
cast it out there again, and also ask if anyone has a mapscript
pre-compiled for SunOS 5.7?

I have heard this from someone I work with:

"PIC is position independent code.  Its what you need for shared
libraries or DLLs."

Is this the same thing?

Anyone?

Thanks,

Mike
