Searching for closest object in mapserver

[Jelmer Baas]

Hi all,

Is there any way to let mapserver determine what object is closest to a 
point I specify?

I basicly have a set of coordinates and what to know which (part of an) 
object is closest to that point, meaning I also need to test lines.

In my desktop app this is handled by Oracle spatial, but I don't have 
that here and don't want to use it as well.

Any suggestions would be more than welcome.
