I've been fiddling with GD::Graph and GD::Text all day, but this is eluding me.

GD::Graph is easy enough to use, and I have it producing the graphs I want. But now I would like to add a small table of text at the bottom of the returned PNG graphic, and I can't quite figure that out.

I've tried using the instantiated object as the target of a GD::Text::Wrap operation, but it returns the error "Not a GD::Image object". Puzzling, because the docs clearly say: 
$graph->plot(\@data) 
    Plot the chart, and return the GD::Image object.

So I did this (most of this code is samples from the man pages, I will be using this with real data once I get the output done properly): 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use GD::Graph::bars3d;
use GD::Text::Wrap;
        my @data = (
           [qw (Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat) ],
           [ 1100, 1500,  1800,  1950,  2324,  2162,  140],
           [ 103, 2000,  1173,  908,  232,  1200,  100],
        );

my $graph = new GD::Graph::bars3d( 495, 211 );
        $graph->set(
                x_label           => 'Day of the week',
                dclrs             => [ qw(red dgreen) ],
                bar_spacing       => 10,
                cumulate          => 1,
        );
        my ($gd) =  $graph->plot( \@data )->png;
my $text = <<EOSTR;
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit,
sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore
magna aliquam erat volutpat.
EOSTR


  my $wrapbox = GD::Text::Wrap->new( $gd,
      line_space  => 4,
      color       => 'black',
      text        => $text,
  );

binmode STDOUT;
print $gd;

..Which returns the error:
Not a GD::Image object at ./graphtest.pl line 26

Any clues? I think I just don't know GD well enough to know the best way to do this. All help appreciated.
