[mapserver-users] Help with perl and mapserver (FWD)

[Brian Fischer]

Nathan,

I will try to answer your questions to the best of my knowledge.

1.) There is only one person I know of that has successfully installed
the Perl version of MapScript on a Windows machine.  Here is a link to
the message posted to the list:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/majordom_lists/archives/mapserver-users/htm
l/0105/msg00183.html

Most users that want to use MapScript on a Windows machine seem to use
DM Solution's PHP MapScript.  There is a gentleman from the University
of Kansas also trying to produce a COM version of MapScript.  I have
also seen a few other postings of users compiling MapScript for Java and
Python.

2.)  You do not need to compile MapServer if you want to use the CGI
program and MapScript for PHP.  There are already compiled versions of
MapServer and MapScript that certain groups maintain for download.

I have 3 questions to ask the mapserver community.   Can anyone tell me
how to get perl to work with mapserver on a windows NT machine?  2.  Do
I have to compile the mapserver with secial commands.  3.  If so, what
are they and where do I put them.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to help me out.
