mixture of perl/mapscript and mapserver

[Lowell Filak]

As Ed explained, you can not incorporate an image in that manner.
The only ways I can think to do what you want are:
1) Setup your mapscript app to provide a WMS reply for supplying the
image to mapserv under a WMS layer deffinition.
2) Write a .wld file to go along with the image and include it in the
mapfile used by your mapserv instance as a raster layer.
