[mapserver-users] Mapscript Changes in 3.6

[Steve Lime]

It shouldn't have worked in 3.5. Projections are not simple structures and really shouldn't be mucked with. So in 3.6 direct access to that was blocked and getProjection and setProjection methods were added to mapObj and layerObj. The methods take/return PROJ.4 projection definition strings.

using Perl, I am trying to get the projection of a map file using

my $project = $map->{projection};


This worked in 3.5. How do you now get the projection of a map file in 3.6. 

Thanks
