Re: Excel graphing in perl

if it just has to be a graph and doesn't necessarily have to be an Excel graph, or be embedded in an Excel spreadsheet, GD::Graph could probably do what you need.

otherwise, you could probably hack something together with one or another of the various Win32 and OLE modules but i don't do windows stuff so i really wouldn't know quite where to start.

Thanks. I forgot to mention that actually. First, It needs to be Excel for various reaasons, second, I don't know too much windows stuff (in relation to Win32::OLE), but saw in the WriteExcel docs that this may be the path to go. So if anyone knows a solution via this method, I'd be interested (an explanation would be appreciated that keeps in mind I haven't messed with Win32::OLE, and I've only done a little windows programming -- API, not MFC, though I'm familiar with the latter ... now)	[reply]
