AFAIK you need to preprocess your data and use CLASSes in your map file. Using OGR or a SQL database you might be able to do this on the fly within your DATA. For example, the command $ ogrinfo -dialect sqlite -sql "select st_length(geometry) > 10 as longenough from water_pipes" water_pipes.shp creates a computed field containing 1 if the line geometry has a length greater than 10. You can then classify on this an apply a symbolization conditionally:
LAYER CLASS EXPRESSION "([longenough] != 0)" STYLE SYMBOL "wp_arrow" GAP -100 COLOR 255 0 0 OFFSET -5 -99 SIZE 6 END END CLASS # default style goes here END END I have not tested this but it might give you a hint how to accomplish it.
