Since this is a web-based question, Apache::GD::Graph is optimal if you are using apache (duh). GD::Graph is the other basic graph module, but its implementation is not as lightweight as the Apache module, so if the graphs are generated dynamically, there will be slightly more overhead.

As for the other modules question, the answer is "Not Really." Frankly, GD::Graph is the end-all, be-all of graphing modules and is really useful almost anywhere.

HTH.



Code is (almost) always untested.
