Greetings monks. I'm about to embark on a project with a dynamic graphing component. The graphs I need to generate show data over time (in ranges from hours to days to months). I'll be generating bar charts and line graphs.

I've done searches on CPAN but nothing is jumping out at me. I've used GD::Graph but the experience wasn't great, particularly the installation of GD. I've used Imager on other projects and found it to be a great module, so I would be inclined to pick something with an Imager backend if all else is equal.

Does anyone have a recommendation?

UPDATE: After playing around a bit I think I'm pretty happy with GD::Graph3D. The hastle I remembered from install GD back on Redhat 7.3 seems to have gone away in Fedora Core 3. GD installed from the CPAN shell with no trouble at all.
