[Mapserver-users] shp2mysql.pl and LINE data.

[Lowell Filak]

I haven't used the tool yet but it may just be the way that the
Shapetype is reported that is causing the problem.
The first Shapetype if block checks for LINE & ARC as equivalent while
the second does not allow for ARC.
Does changing the line:
if ($shape->{Shapetype} eq LINE){
to:
if ($shape->{Shapetype} eq LINE or $shape->{Shapetype} eq ARC){
help?
