I've tried every variation I can think of on my projection definitions, 
including one closely modeled on Eric's example (for which many thanks), 
and my point is still not being re-projected.  Can anyone suggest a way 
to debug this?  Sources of information on projection definitions would 
also be welcome; I looked at what I could find on the Web, but don't 
feel I fully understand them yet (understatement!).

Latest version of my code is:
-----------------
$crab_here = ms_newpointobj();
// here's a DD lat/long: 38.20527700 -122.37277700
$inproj = ms_newProjectionObj("proj=longlat,ellps=clrk66");
$outproj = 
ms_newProjectionObj("proj=utm,ellps=clrk66,zone=10,north,no_defs");
$crab_here->setXY(38.20527700, -122.37277700);
$new_obj = $crab_here->project($inproj, $outproj);
print("x is ");
print($crab_here->x);
print("; y is ");
print($crab_here->y);
-----------------------------
And the output is "x is 38.205277; y is -122.372777".

Here's some of the metadata for the map I'm trying to put the dot on 
(and which I thus used to define $outproj):

  <pre wrap="">Chris,
1) pointObj->project() does not return a point, it just reprojects the
pointObj, so getting a null is not an error.
2) Still the crab_here point is not gettting projected.  When I did
something similiar in Perl mapscript, for my UTM projection I used:my
$proj_utm = new         
projectionObj('proj=utm,ellps=GRS80,zone=19,north,no_defs');

What am I doing wrong?
