How about Graph::Easy?

use Graph::Easy;
my $graph = Graph::Easy->new();
# I think I got all the edges added below?
$graph->add_edge(1,2);
$graph->add_edge(2,5);
$graph->add_edge(5,6);
$graph->add_edge(6,7);
$graph->add_edge(7,8);
$graph->add_edge(8,9);
$graph->add_edge(9,11);
$graph->add_edge(8,10);
$graph->add_edge(10,11);
$graph->add_edge(1,4);
$graph->add_edge(4,5);
$graph->add_edge(1,3);
$graph->add_edge(3,5);
$graph->add_edge(1,7);
print $graph->as_ascii;

UPDATE: Note Graph::Easy only *displays* graphs, it doesn't analyze them. To do graph analysis, you'll need Graph. Of course they use different object constructions, but fear not, Graph::Convert converts wonderfully between the two, so you can create, analyze and display graphs with these three modules (Graph, Graph::Easy, Graph::Convert) and they all depend on core modules - so no dependency spiral.
