but I guess you need to link to a database or something to use that?

DBD::Chart allows a DBD interface into creating charts with the GD libararies. It is dependant on:

• Perl 5.6.0 minimum
• DBI 1.14 minimum
• DBD::Chart::Plot 0.80 (included with this package)
• GD X.XX minimum
• GD::Text X.XX minimum
• Time::HiRes
• libpng
• zlib
• libgd
• jpeg-6b

that taken directly from the DBD::Chart man page.

As far as I know there no dependancy on a physical databse per se. The chart you are creating is treated as a database via the DBI and DBD:: interface.
