jasonwolf has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

It has been sometime since I have had to develop new app; however, I am looking for suggestions on developing and making a network node map that is exported to some picture format... maybe .svg or .png. I hate to say it, but I have no clue where to start, or what I should research. I am still new to Perl but excited to learn the language. thank you JW

    Depending on your requirements on the layout, GraphViz2 can produce some images as PNG or SVG. They are not pretty but convey the rough situation.
