I would like to create a map that I can feed it Longitude and Latitude positions
and place a marker at that location.

The positions will be feed from a MySql DB and color of the marker will be
changing depending on different conditions. At some point I would like to be
able to click on the marker to bring up a special webpage describing the
location.

I need some guidance getting started in the right direction.

Thanks your assistance.

Depending on whether you mean something like the graticule object or a
point label there are a couple of different answers.
As far as the perl example for the graticule object goes - there was a
discussion on the list a little while back regarding that but there is
no final on the results yet.
However, specifying the graticule information in the mapfile directly
seems to work fine.
But then if your thinking of displaying lat-long in the browser as the
mouse moves over the map that requires some form of client-side
scripting, ie. Javascipt.
