osm2ai.pl

http://trac.openstreetmap.org/browser/applications/utils/export/osm2ai/osm2ai.pl

So do I need to basically just compile this in Perl? As I understand the instructions, I change the lines:

$outfile=‘’;
$infile=‘’;

to:

$outfile=‘Filename.ai’;
$infile=‘Filename.osm’;

Is that correct, or is it more complicated than that (my experience is in C/++, some Python, and proprietary languages, never had much of an ambition to use Perl)?
