My apologies. I should have phrased the question better. (Perhaps too much meditation led me to believe in "mind transfer"...;) ) Matt H himself is not supporting the MS platform for his perl bindings. I was trying to compile it in W2k using nmake utility. I get the following error >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ERROR MESSAGE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

My question is someone out there who has managed to compile the GDChart on W2K. If not, is there a way to create "exploding pie chart " in perl using any other plotting methods..? Thanks _DMonk_
