in reply to Excel graphing in perl

I may well be barking up the wrong tree, but would it be possible to make the graph in excel manually and then replace the data as needed using SpreadSheet::WriteExcel??
I have done something similar to this in the past to get round the limitations of the module, although, it is a fantastic module.

    would it be possible to make the graph in excel manually

    Quite possible. I've already done it :) I'm trying to make a perl script to do it now so that it can be done in the future with new data sets, and with much LESS TIME. There are quite a few graphs needed, and making them is very simple ... however time consuming.

    and then replace the data as needed using SpreadSheet::WriteExcel

    Once the graphs are done, the program can stop. I don't need any more advance/further handling (by Excel or perl, anyway) of the data at that point.
