[mapserver-users] perl mapscript queryByRect() and queryByPoint() in 3.5

[Lowell Filak]

Actually the result is in $layer->getResult(0) . The layer->{resultcache} is for doing things like $result_cache->{numresults}. And you guessed it, the query...() returns a status.
I did have a typo in the latest version of the Perl-MapScript docs that may have confused things but an update should be posted very soon.
Also an example of a query is due to be posted to the wiki very soon. (Don't let that stop you from posting your example however).
