[mapserver-users] My gis program

[Puneet Kishor]

Well, the verdict is far from concrete.

I tried running mapserver with mod_perl and received a bunch of errors. 
But it worked. There was a discussion about this, and it was concluded 
that the errors were a result of mod_perl. Eventually I got rid of 
mod_perl and ran mapserver... I still get a bunch of errors... but it 
works. The errors are mainly of the kind...

[Wed Nov  6 17:44:07 2002] index.pl:    (in cleanup) Not a HASH 
reference at /Library/Perl/darwin/mapscript.pm line 1144 during global 
destruction.

reference at /Library/Perl/darwin/mapscript.pm line 2415 during global 
destruction.
[Wed Nov  6 17:44:07 2002] index.pl: Use of uninitialized value in 
exists at /Library/Perl/darwin/mapscript.pm line 2417 during global 
destruction.

but, as I said, it still works.

I would really like for mapserver to work with mod_perl. Primarily, I 
would like to use HTML::Mason (or embperl). I have been developing a 
generic application using HTML::Template, but Mason prefers mod_perl.

Steve Lime would be able to comment definitely when that would be 
possible.

Thanks,

Puneet.
