How about Graph::Easy?

use Graph::Easy;
my $graph = Graph::Easy->new();
# I think I got all the edges added below?
$graph->add_edge(1,2);
$graph->add_edge(2,5);
$graph->add_edge(5,6);
$graph->add_edge(6,7);
$graph->add_edge(7,8);
$graph->add_edge(8,9);
$graph->add_edge(9,11);
$graph->add_edge(8,10);
$graph->add_edge(10,11);
$graph->add_edge(1,4);
$graph->add_edge(4,5);
$graph->add_edge(1,3);
$graph->add_edge(3,5);
$graph->add_edge(1,7);
print $graph->as_ascii;

UPDATE: Note Graph::Easy only *displays* graphs, it doesn't analyze them. To do graph analysis, you'll need Graph. Of course they use different object constructions, but fear not, Graph::Convert converts wonderfully between the two, so you can create, analyze and display graphs with these three modules (Graph, Graph::Easy, Graph::Convert) and they all depend on core modules - so no dependency spiral.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
