Sorry to take you guys back to something that you've allready sorted out,
but I'm a little confused. I've upgraded to MS4.4.2 but am getting the
following message when trying to use Perl Mapscript, and from the previous
messages it looks as though I might just need to alter mapscript.pm:

Can't locate auto/mapscript/classObj/swig_styles.al

Am I right in interpreting the previous emails when I assume that I need to
remove refernces to classObj in mapscript.pm, or am I way off?

Thanks
