[mapserver-users] mapscript perl dependencies

[Steve Lime]

I've not tried building perl mapscript with OGR but will investigate.
Just for grins will you file this as
a bug in Bugzilla (mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs).

Yep, that's what it was.

My mapserver makefile has this OGR section. Note OGR_LIB is 
blank, i guess because it's statically linked.

The problem is that perl mapscript's Makefile.PL is not copying 
the 5th line from the "perlvars" file. The 5th line has the OGR 
stuff. I appended the contents of OGR_STATIC in mapserver 
makefile to the EXTRALIBS and LDLOADLIBS in the perl mapscript 
makefile, compiled and re-installed.
