[OSM-talk] planetosm-excerpt-area.pl

[Þórir Már Jónsson]

Hi, I began experimenting with making my own garmin .img files using mkgmap yesterday, and to my surprise it worked flawlessly the first time!  In this first round I just used the area I was editing in JOSM, but seeing how well it went I decided to try my hands at something bigger.  As I will be traveling to Denmark and Sweden next week, I thought that a map of Scandinavia would be perfect.  As this is obviously to large an area to download via JOSM, I downloaded the plant.osm file and after a quick stop at the forums, I started messing about with the planetosm-excerpt-area.pl script.  And this is where I'm stuck.  When I run the script I get the following error message:

tiny at lappi:~/svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/osm-extract$ ./planetosm-excerpt-area.pl -bbox 53,2,72,40 ~/Desktop/planet-070530.osm 
Can't locate File/Slurp.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/tiny/svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/perl_lib ~/svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/perl_lib ../../perl_lib ./perl_lib /perl /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /home/tiny/svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/perl_lib/Geo/OSM/Planet.pm line 23.

Apparently I am missing Slurp.pm.  What is this file, and where do I get it?  And am I running the script correctly?  I could not find any clear instructions on how to use this script, so this was my best educated guess.  Anything else I'm missing?

Best regards,
