This is more an HTML question but it works like this:

my $results = {
    'Category A' => 14,
    'Category B' => 21
};

# Start your HTML here..... Then....

print qq(<table border="0">\n);

foreach my $key (keys(%$results)) {
    print qq(<tr><td>$key</td><td><img src="bar.gif" width="$results->
+{$key}"></td></tr>);
}
print qq(</table>\n);

bar.gif serves to give the colour to the result and the width is set by the number of entries for that result.

Of course this is a rather crude example but it should sho the basics ;)

Update: Added the offending semi-colon so it now compiles (Thanks tachyon). Moral, don't write something in a rush while preparing for a meeting ;)
