Changing Output Projection

I'm pulling a polygon layer from Postgis and displaying it in MapServer,
but I can't seem to change the output projection. The polygon layer's
native coordinate system is WGS84, and when I check MapServer with th
e-v switch it says it supports PROJ. The unprojected map displays fine
if I use decimal degrees, but it seems to be ignoring my PROJECTION
settings the map file. Can someone tell me what's wrong? Here's the map
file:
