Looks like your Perl module is missing!

Maybe you haven't installed the Mapserver Perl module - this is not 
automatic in the Mapserver build process.  Instructions for Mapserver 
3.6.6 on Perl - your mileage may vary.

1) cd [mapserver distribution directory]/mapscript/perl
2) perl Makefile.PL
3) make
4) make install
5) [just to be safe]  ldconfig

Hope this helps.

Cheers

M
