[Mapserver-users] Perl MapScript (3.7)

[Lowell Filak]

I don't know for certain, however I think this is just a matter of downloading a newer nightly build and recompiling.
The mapscript module does not appear to contain any .al-files/autosplitting so possibly there was a spelling mismatch in mapscipt.pm, I don't readily see a problem in the current nightly build.
Possibly someone else with the 3-14 build can verify that autosplit was/wasn't used.?
