[Mapserver-users] Can't locate 'new' method of mapObj

[Lowell Filak]

Krung;
There is a syntax change in the MapServer 3.6.4 release:
> There is one small difference. The version of Swig used to build the 
> Perl/Python/Tcl interfaces is different than in previous releases. With 
> Perl there is a subtle difference in how you instantiate objects: 
> 
> $map = new mapObj(...); 
> 
> becomes: 
> 
> $map = new mapscript::mapObj(...); 
> 
> This change was made to bring Perl in line with the other language 
> modules.

> $img->free();
> undef $map;

> No error file created. What I did wrong? Any special to compile mapserver-3.6.4 than mapserver-3.6.3.
