[OSM-newbies] Coastline

[Keith Ng]

After numerous trial and error, this is what I have done:

1. Installed ActivePerl
2. Downloaded Geo-ShapeFile version 2.51 using Perl Package Manager
3. Downloaded coast_josm.pl
4. Downloaded the data for the region I want (3)
5. Put all files into the same directory.
6. Go to Windows cmd.exe and type in perl upload_josm.pl 5.2 5.5 100.2 100.43

However, all I got was an error saying "Couldn't get file handle for
Data/NGA_GlobalShoreline_cd3.shx: No such file or directory at coast_josm.pl
line 52"

What did I do wrong? Thanks.
