Mapserver re installed

[Jeff McKenna]

Yes this is due to a change in the way variables must be expressed in 
CGI MapServer (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc/ms-rfc-31/). 
  There is also notes on this in the MIGRATION_GUIDE.txt in the 
MapServer source.

However I also had a difficult time getting all of my CGI viewers to 
work with these changes.  I've attached one of my simple CGI viewers 
that now works with 5.0, so you can follow that.  For sure one thing 
changed is that the variables "map_web_imageurl" and "map_web_imagepath" 
have been replaced with "map_web" (see my example).  But hopefully other 
developers can explain this better than I can.
