== Example ==
Here is a simple perl example that loads a mapfile, creates an image and saves it:
{{{
#!perl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use mapscript;

Include XBase for access to XBase/DBF files.

use XBase;

Include DBI so XBase files can be queried in an SQL manner.

use DBI;

Start the map.

my $map = new mapscript::mapObj('boundary.map') or die('Unable to open mapfile.');

Render the map.

my $img = $map->draw() or die('Unable to draw map');

Save the rendered image.

my $void = $img->save('example.png');
}}}
