So the way this works is:
browser <----> mapcache <----> mapserver_wms
So look at the demo page if you have mapcache.xml configured then you
should see a simple OpenLayers application that pulls tiles from mapcache.
your mapcache.xml needs look something like this. The referrences in the
source block are explicit references to names in my mapfile. Obviously
parameter values need to be change for your server and mapfile.

ok. Now I have http://example.com/mapcache/demo working. But how can I
get my mapserver's wms connect to it.

Thanks. I installed mapcahe and started to learn about the xml
configuration file. Reading
http://mapserver.org/mapcache/config.html as a start. Hope it is the
first thing that I should do.

Now I want to give out those data to public as tiles giving
a single URL
such as tile.myserver.org <http://tile.myserver.org>
<http://tile.myproxy.org/>. How can I achieve
this using Mapserver? What is the place to start? What
tutorials I have
to read? I've read that Mapserver has a tile mode
<http://mapserver.org/output/__tile_mode.html
<http://mapserver.org/output/tile_mode.html>>.
Thanks in advance.
mapcache it the tile server for mapserver. So you will want to
look at that. The basic scenario is this:
1. setup mapserver as a WMS server
2. build and install mapcache as an apache module
3. setup a mapcache.xml to describe you WMS server, and your cache.
make sure you configure the demo service initially for testing
you can disable it later if you want
4. restart apache
5. http://example.com/mapcache/__demo
<http://example.com/mapcache/demo>
whenever you change your mapcache.xml you need to start apache
so it reads your changes.
