Thanks, that worked, and compiled cleanly.

hmmmm... I am using Google Maps API v3, and haven't implemented a WMS tiling front-end and MapServer WMS backend that would support that. Which is why when I started the earlier thread inquiring about caching mechanisms, I specifically inquired for ones that supported MapServer's `mode=tile`, else I would have explored tilecache.org or geowebcache.

So, now I would have to modify my frontend, and configure MapServer as WMS, before I can test mod-geocache. Will be a while, it seems.

Puneet.
