I am being asked to build a web site that allows users to slice and dice an OLAP (molap) cube on an MS Analysis Server.
The requirements are:

1) The users can provide input to decide what the result set should be
2) The set should allow drilldown
3) The set should be able to be graphed

My natural tendency is to use Perl with Win32:OLE to build the data requests and write out XML for the display, Then use Win::OLE to graph.

So clearly, I have little to no idea how to accomplish this task. Can any of you shine some light on the path I should take? (No "follow the arrows to the nut-house jokes please!)

Thanks!
Gary
