[Mapserver-users] Trouble using Perl newClass->setText( $newLayer, "hello" )

I am creating a layer on the fly with one class.  I am able to create the map successfully w/out using setText().  The symbols in the layer shows up fine.  As soon as I call  $newClass->setText( $newLayer, "hello" ) to display a field/value it segfaults.  My code snippet is below.  Can anyone advise what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
	Ken
