Re^5: Keys and Values from Hash

My end goal is to create an HTML page, which will display a Column Chart

In that case, here's a long pass up the field for you ..

#!perl;
use strict;
use GD;
use GD::Graph::bars;

# test data
my %spend = ();
for ('A'..'Z'){
  $spend{'Customer_'.$_} = { 
    money9am => int rand(1000), 
    money3pm => int rand(1000) };
}; 

# graph
my $date = scalar localtime;
my $graph = GD::Graph::bars->new(800,400);
$graph->set( 
  y_label     => 'Spend',
  title       => 'Customer spend for '.$date,
  bar_spacing => 5,
  cycle_clrs  => 1,
  x_labels_vertical => 1,
) or die $graph->error;
$graph->set_x_axis_font(gdMediumBoldFont);
$graph->set_y_axis_font(gdMediumBoldFont);
  
# table and graph data
my @x=(); my @y=();
my $table = q!<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="1">!;
for my $cust (sort keys %spend){
  my $spend = $spend{$cust}{'money9am'}+$spend{$cust}{'money3pm'};
  push @x,$cust;
  push @y,$spend;
  $table .= qq!<tr><td>$cust</td><td align="right">$spend</td></tr>!;
}
$table .= q!</table>!;

# plot
my $gd = $graph->plot([\@x,\@y]) or die $graph->error;
  
# save chart as gif
(my $filename = $date) =~ s/ /_/g; 
$filename =~ s/://g;
open IMG, '>',$filename.'.gif' or die $!;
binmode IMG;
print IMG $gd->gif;
  
# create html
open HTM, '>report.htm' or die $!;
print HTM qq(<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"  "http:
+//www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<head><title>Spend for $date</title></head>
<body><h3>Spend for $date</h3>
<p><img src="$filename.gif" alt="chart"></p>
$table
</body></html>);
