Re: GD::Graph issue with similar datapoints

I learned one thing about GD. You need to get a "matching set" of Perl version, GD c libs, and GD perl modules. First I would go back to Perl5.8.2 or maybe even Perl5.8.0. Arn't the odd number releases to be considered "just for testing"?

Anyways, my point is, you may be getting ahead of the developers, and so you are seeing this "bug".

I ran into a similar situation with the "logo" option of GD::Graph.

Yes, but 5.8.3 is not an odd number (5.8.3 is a "maintenance" release, production perl). 5.9.0 is an odd number(5.9.0 is a development version) ====> http://www.cpan.org/src/

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

Just to make explicit what PodMaster already hinted at, it's the middle digit of the version number that's odd or even depending on unstable or stable release. So anything in the 5.8.x series is allegedly stable.
