Definitely leverage mapfile INCLUDEs
(http://mapserver.org/mapfile/include.html). In your case, each LAYER
could be an include, and you could have a mapfile template file that
your shell script writes those include layers into.
I recently saw a presentation at FOSS4G-Europe from PropertyShark, who
manages thousands of layers, using includes, and generates them through
custom Perl scripts (you can read about that discussion, or contact
them, through the recent Google+ discussion
https://plus.google.com/communities/103841604654304099367).

Hi Everybody,
I need to create a script shell to build thousands of mapfiles based on
postgis layers.
Which is the best way to accomplish this task?
Best regards,
Alex
