perl to png

hey,i just downloaded perl and execute mkmap but it doesn t make a pang file,what i have to do?

Can you explain in a little bit more detail what you are actually trying to do?

I guess this is something about it:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bigmap

i want to make a png file from a certain area in opn street map

How big area do you mean?

If it’s small, you can just try to use “Share” button on the right of OSM.org website, setting desired size and format for the output (for example PNG).
