Andres,

There is no 'pasteImage' method in MapScript.

If you want to do post-MapServer image processing, you should look
into using Perl ImageMagick or GD modules.  These modules will let
you do what you want and much more.  Do a search on the
web, check their user list archives, and you'll soon come up with
some great tips on how you can overlay images.

cheers,
Sean
