You can use postgres without using a scripting language. I think
Lowell was suggesting testing the map file using the scripting language.

Ok , but what I'm asking is if i can do it only using mapserver and its
".map" file and a database with postgis.
I want to read the points of the line in the postgis table and create a
layer with it as in the mapfile and show this points.
Do I have to use a script language to do it?
Can a do it only using the mapfile?
