[Mapserver-users] mapscript perl help

[Eric Bridger]

You could put this at the beginning of your script to see any error
messages from mapserver:
$ENV{MS_ERRORFILE} = '/full/path/to/mapserver.log';

That will report any errors in your map file.

Also, try setting $file to the full path to your map file, just to be
sure mapscript is finding it.
