Tirex:...pserver(3pm)

💖 Tirex::Backend::Mapserver 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection — it's the manpage for Tirex::Backend::Mapserver, section 3pm. yes the 3pm means it's a Perl module thingy. slay. 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

Tirex::Backend::Mapserver — it's the Mapserver backend for Tirex. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 🎀

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically it's a simple "renderer" that literally just grabs the map image from a Mapserver, using Mapscript. that's it. that's the job. iconic behaviour honestly. ✨

🦋 Config parameters for the map file 🦋

here's the tea on what you can set, look at her go:

• mapfile — the mapfile you wanna use for your Mapserver configuration. give her the file, she does the rest. 💅
• layers — a list of comma-separated layers. commas. separate them. do not forget the commas bestie. 😭
• srs — the spatial reference system, like 'EPSG:3857' etc. etc. you know the drill. 🌈
• transparent — either TRUE or FALSE. binary. no in-between. it's giving decisive. 👑

💜 METHODS 💜

🫶 $backend->init()

this method initializes things specific to this backend. she's getting herself ready, doing her little backend-specific setup. main character prep montage energy. ✨

🫶 $backend->create_metatile()

it creates a metatile. that's the whole thing. short and sweet and obsessed with efficiency. 🎀

---

💀 reminder for my loves: those config values go in the map file, and transparent really only takes TRUE or FALSE. don't try anything cute with it. okay? okay. 🫶

mwah — that's the whole page, bestie. this one came out of perl v5.40.1, dated 2026-08-09, straight from the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew and the Tirex:...pserver(3pm) footer herself. go forth and render those tiles. you ate. 💖🌸🦋
