Thanks Ethan,
The whole reason for going down this route is that I need the zoom feature
in my map an I though that all add to was pass zoomsize to mapserver - that
appears to be what is being done in the workshop demo. Am I wrong?

In this case you don't appear to need a TEMPLATE. I'm not sure but I
think you can put the string "dummy" into your template line. The
TEMPLATE option is really for calls where mode=browse and you only pass
the mapfile name to the mapserv executable.

Ok - here is what I have.
I have a perl cgi that builds my primary page, builds the map file and
uses the perl api to build the map image, then displays the page. In
the initial page I have all of the hidden fields that will direct that
are to be read by the mapserver to allow me to zoom into different
polygons on my California zip map ( each polygon representing a zip ).
The cgi produces the following html:
<html>
<head>
<title>MapServer - CS CGI Application</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
<!-- map_template.html -->
<center><h1>MapServer - CS CGI Application</h1></center>
<hr>
<form method="GET" action="/cgi-bin/teacher/makmap.cgi"
name="mapserv_select">
<center>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4">
<tr>
<td>
Teacher Type: <SELECT NAME="type">
<OPTION VALUE="type1" >First Grade Teacher</option>
<OPTION VALUE="type2" >Second Grade Teacher</option>
<OPTION VALUE="type3" >Third Grade Teacher</option>
<OPTION VALUE="none" SELECTED></option>
</SELECT>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="submit">
</form>
<form method="GET" action="/cgi-bin/mapserv" name="mapserv"> <input
type="hidden" name="zoomsize" value=2> <input type="hidden" name="map"

</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" align="center">

</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
The html consists of two forms one for selection of the criteria which
rebuilds the map just fine. The second for looking at the polygons. My
map file that is produced appears as follows on the initial display of
the map:
MAP

END
END
END # end map from header
And after selection of specific criteria:
MAP

END # end map from header
My error condition comes about when I try to click on one of the
polygons in the map.

Joseph,
Just want to make sure your setting the value to a file, not just a
path, and not a url. Give us the examples that you've used.
