I am using the module CHART.PPM with ActivePerl 5.6 (Build 6.20) with Microsoft Windoze ME and can't get it to work. Am I missing some other modules or is it a dumb typing mistake.

use Chart::Lines;
$obj = Chart::Lines->new or "Chart does not work\n";
$obj->set ('title' => 'Graph Test');
@data = ( [ 'foo', 'bar', 'junk' ], [ 30.2,  23.5,  92.1   ] );    

# Should create a gif file with graph
$obj->gif ("test.gif", \@data);

[download]

The last line should create a gif file of the graph but I get this message: Can't locate object method "gif" via package "Chart::Lines" at graph.pl

From what I read in the chart module instructions the next line should create a graph on a web page at the HTML tag IMG SRC="graph_program.pl"</CODE>

$obj->cgi_gif ( \@data );

I get the error message: Can't locate object method "cgi_gif" via package "Chart::Lines" at graph.pl line
