Perl Mapscript 4.4 Issues

[Ellis Robin (Bundaberg)]

Thanks for all the assistance thus far. Is there a script available that outputs the version & associated compilation of Perl Mapscript being hit by different processes? I'm getting Perl Mapscript working OK straight through a browser and Apache cgi, but it's my ArcIMS Emulation stuff giving me the error outlined below. I'm just wondering if somehow I've got processes pointing at 2 different installations.

Thanks

Rob

Rob,

I usually see this error after upgrading and trying to reference a
member or method that no longer exists.
