gdaltindex in DOS

[Yar Doroshenko]

Thank you guys!

for %f in (path\*.tif) do gdaltindex index.shp %f

worked fine!

I have several more questions: I now have 52 .tif images, index.shp,
index.dbf, and index.shx

1) in step 3 of the following instructions:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?BathymetryHowTo
it says that I need to create .wld files for each image. How do I run the
script? I have never used Perl. Are .wld necessary for my php mapserver to
recognize the images?

2) in step 5

LAYER

  NAME 'oceans'
  TYPE RASTER
  STATUS ON
  TILEINDEX "oceans"
  TILEITEM "Location"
  MINSCALE 6400000
  CLASS
    NAME "Oceans"
  END

END

what's the difference between tileindex and tileitem? Is tileitem line
necessary?

Thank you,

Yar
