= PerlMapScript with Perl5.8 =

Contributed by Joe Bussell

    The interface code in mapscript_wrap.c is broken for PERL 5.8. 
    Specifically, the macro XS(boot_mapscript) must be declared if the PERL object is not declared. 

    In my world line 431 which reads: 
    SWIGEXPORT(void) boot_mapscript(CV* cv); 

    should be replaced with: 
    XS(boot_mapscript); 

How does this bug manifest itself? In what mapserver version?

My mapserver-4.2.3/mapscript/perl/mapscript_wrap.c:811 has
{{{
#!perl
 #define SWIG_init    boot_mapscript

 #define SWIG_name   "mapscriptc::boot_mapscript"
 #define SWIG_prefix "mapscriptc::"

 #ifdef __cplusplus
 extern "C"
 #endif
 #ifndef PERL_OBJECT
 #ifndef MULTIPLICITY
 SWIGEXPORT(void) SWIG_init (CV* cv);
 #else
 SWIGEXPORT(void) SWIG_init (pTHXo_ CV* cv);
 #endif
}}}
Which looks like it has some changes.
