[mapserver-users] [map] tag and $mapObj->processTemplate()

[Steve Lime]

The CGI version takes any form element and allows you to echo it by using the element
name in brackets. That's how [map] works. There is no section in the code specifically
looking for [map], but since you must always set a map variable it always works. Lemme 
look at the processTemplate method for a workaround.

I'm using Perl mapscript & am mapscript newbie. I noticed that 
the  $mapObj->processTemplate() method does not replace the [map] 
tag in my template. The mapserv CGI does replace the [map] field 
in my template. The mapserver docs mention something about the 
savemap CGI parameter being required, but it's not clear. How can 
I get mapscript to process the [map] tag in my template?
