MS4W and Perl Mapscript

[Matt Pettis]

Thanks Lowell,

I'd love it.  Need?  Well, I could also just learn Python/PHP I guess,
as I am in the early stages of a personal project.  I'll probably end up
doing that since I need functionality sooner than later... So I'd count
me as representative of someone coming to MapServer, but not necessarily
using it by the time MapScript for Perl on Windows was released...

Thanks again to everybody,
Matt

Matt,
A windows port of perl mapscript has been discussed at different times
and if there is enough requests for it we could see about contracting &
funding the development.
It all depends on need.???
