Hi list, I'm trying to set up an application whose goal is to add Point data to an existing map using Perl MapScript. My plan is to put all that's static in a mapfile and to draw the points afterwards.
For now, I haven't managed to draw anything except what's in the mapfile and I would like to know if there is anything special I should know. For example, when you create a point, which projection is in use ? I attached a sample script which should draw a big point over Paris but actually doesn't. Also, I noted that I can't "use strict;" since the MapScript Variables (MS_ON, MS_SINGLE, ...) produce errors even when you prefix them with 'mapserver::' : Argument "MS_ON" isn't numeric in subroutine entry at /opt/csw/lib/perl/site_perl/mapscript.pm line 35. Allthough there is not much documentation for the Perl-side of MapScript, the MapScript API Reference should be sufficient. Just in case someone is aware of some well-rounded documentation or examples for Perl MapScript, it would be great to share with others :). Thanks in advance. -- Benoit Myard
