in reply to HTML scattered point graphs

If you're talking pure HTML, you can create a huge table with each table cell representing a point on the graph. You'll only do this if you are certifiably insane (for which you'd be in good company, as insanity is a popular attribute of Perl programmers).

If you want something practical, browse the Image::, Graphics::, and Chart:: namespaces on CPAN, which will show you how to create a (for example) PNG image on the fly.

I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident.

    One note from my experience with using HTML tables as a raster graphics file format - browsers don't take well to tables with 250,000 cells.. :) If you're impatient, don't bother.
