Greetings Listers,
It has been a while since I deployed a new Mapserver application. I have been leaning on old source on an old box to get the work done. I have been given a new server to set up for our Air Force project and have had some issues with getting my code to work. First of all I am using Mapscript ala PERL. I recognize that the PERL interface has not been updated due to a lack of user interest, but I am still partial to using it if it can still be done (mostly since I will not have to rewrite my routing path functionality).

My problem is getting the actual mapObj to construct from my mapfile. I have not been able to get any debug information our by checking /tmp/mserrors, which used to work nicely in such cases. All I get is an undefined reference. My code for construction is simple:

my $map = new mapscript::mapObj( $mapfile ) or carp "Could not create mapscript object from mapfile: $mapfile";

in my httpd.conf I define
MS_ERRORFILE              /tmp/mserrors.txt

My mapfile exists and is very simple.
I am running:
CentOS release 4.3
AMD64, dual core machine
Apache/2.0.52
mapserver-4.8.3.tar.gz
perl, v5.8.5 built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi

Thank you for your time.
