On both Linuxes it is no problem to install Perl Mapscript but as far as I've seen MS4W and OSGEO don't come with Perl Mapscript. As my Scripts have to run on Windows I wonder whether there is an easy way to install it or does it mean compiling for Windows? Is there some kind of howto for installing PerlMapscript? Thanks very much

(Hi Lowell). I am pretty sure it won't work as compiling it requires SWIG, and, of course, a compiler. So, someone has to make the module (or dll or whatever it is called on Windows) and provide it.
