[Mapserver-users] Problems with queryByRect() in Perl with 3.6.4

[PATTERSON KENNETH ALLEN]

I am trying to query the mapfile to get all point shapes within a rectangle.  I have a very simple shape file with three layers.  One layer contains point data (gauge).  After the call to $gLayer ->queryByRect( $ms, $rectang ) that returns 1, I call $gLayer ->getResult(0).  GetResult(0) returns nothing and $gLayer ->{resultcach} is also empty.  What is going on?  I've checked through the archive and find some discussions like this but none have given me any insight.  I am able to draw and see all the data just fine.

This is the code (more or less):

	my $gLayer = $msMap->getLayerByName( "gauge" );
	if (!$gLayer) {
		print "\tError: unable to find layer we want\n";
		return( 0 );
	}

	my $rectang = new mapscript::rectObj();

	# Just load up the full extent.
	$rectang->{minx} = $msMap->{extent}->{minx};
	$rectang->{maxx} = $msMap->{extent}->{maxx};
	$rectang->{miny} = $msMap->{extent}->{miny};
	$rectang->{maxy} = $msMap->{extent}->{maxy};
	
	print "\tCurrent Query Rectangle (minx, maxx, miny, maxy):\n";
	print "\t\t($rectang->{minx}, $rectang->{maxx}, 	$rectang->{miny}, $rectang->{maxy} )\n";

	my $query_status = $gLayer->queryByRect( $msMap, $rectang );
	print "\tQuery Status = $query_status\n";
	
	my $result_mem = $gLayer->getResult(0);
	my $result_cache = $gLayer->{resultcache};
	print "\t\tGauge layer query results: $query_status, $result_mem, $result_cache\n";


This produces the following output:

	Current Query Rectangle (minx, maxx, miny, maxy):
		(-114.8, -109.06, 31.2808666666667, 37.0231333333333 )
	Query Status = 1
		Gauge layer query results: 1, ,
