Why not use Win32::GUI or Tk? Using these, you can create whatever GUI (dynamically updating of course) that you want. Of the two, I'd probably suggest using Tk, as it is going to be more portable, has been around longer (Win32::GUI is still beta), and is much better documented.
There are various references and examples you can use to get yourself started. (shameless plug approaching) I'd begin by looking at examples, such as (shameless plug imminent) my Perl/Tk Chatterbox Client. You may look into Learning Perl/Tk from O'Reilly and Associates.
Another choice, if you're looking for straight graphing, is the GD module from CPAN. Check its documentation for more information.
Hope that helps,

I also think GD::Graph would be a good option. It uses the flexibility of GD and offers you the possibility of creating several kinds of graphs (like bargraphs).

sure... for starters, try the GD module by
lincoln stein. for graphs, there is GD::Graph, which uses GD.
be warned though, that while i can heartily recommend the m/^GD/ modules,
i haven't ever suffered with, i mean used them with, win32. libgd, the C library underpinning
GD.pm, does claim to be win32 resistant, i mean tolerant.
