I copied the files over to the new server, eliminated the "dl("php_mapscript.so")", and in principal, I would have said, it should have worked.

My first guess would be that your mapfile fails to load because of
something that changed between v4.x and the current (5.6) version. Look
at the other error messages that you get, starting with the first one.

If you don't get any error message other than the one you quoted above
(which would surprise me), then you could turn on log/debug and the logs
couold tell you more about what failed. See:
http://mapserver.org/optimization/debugging.html#steps-to-enable-mapserver-debugging

I'd also recommend that you have a look at the migration guide at
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/browser/branches/branch-5-6/mapserver/MIGRATION_GUIDE.TXT
