[Mapserver-users] PHP/Mapscript now works on OS X

[Puneet Kishor]

This is really good news. Of course, in the meantime I've gotten thoroughly
bored with PHP and equally thoroughly enamored with Perl (which always
worked on OS X anyway). Now, if only we could get Mapscript not getting all
funky with mod_perl so I could work with Mason...

Thanks Paul, for the heads-up to us dwindling Mac lovers out there.
