Cave,

My theory on this one is that the setProjection may work correctly but
there are other parameters which need to follow for the map to render
correctly. The mapserv cgi handles all of those settings automatically
as opposed to mapscript where you need to set them manually. Until I can
look at the source I don't know what else is missing.
