Just because you are using GD to generate an image for the chart doesn't mean that you need to generate the table as an image.

If by "online" you mean on a web page then an HTML table is what you want to create and there are a pile of modules for that on CPAN (HTML::Table and HTML::QuickTable for example).

If you mean in the context of a GUI then again generating the table as an image is probably not what you want and the tools available depend a great deal on the GUI you are using. If you were using Tk for example you may find Tk::Table does the trick (although it actually manages a table of widgets so there is some work to be done!).

Otherwise the only module I could find that seems to come close is PostScript::Simple::Table, but that's a bit indirect!
