[Mapserver-users] Re: perl / mapscript

[Paul Dymecki]

Well actually i may be makeing this more complicated then it needs. I've
built a phpmapscript application containing vegetaion zones(polygons) around
the country.  There is a larger perl application(not under my care) that
will pass me a lat/lon.  I then have to query and return which vegetation
zone this point resides in.  So the script would be a backend one with no
user/map interaction at all.  Would  that be possible.
