   Doesn't anyone read the documentation anymore? How about simply
using uv-mapping on the box directly? It's a supported object:

http://povray.org/documentation/view/3.6.1/358/

   If you use a repeating planar image map, scale it properly and
then apply uv_mapping, it will repeat the image on each side of
the box.
