I've been looking through CPAN for something that would do the following (figured it would be best to cut to the chase) and haven't had any luck so far (but I'm not good and finding stuff sometimes so it's most likely there).

Use X/Y/Z coordinates fed to it from the main program, for numerous items, place them on a 3D Graph as a coloured dot, based on their type.

Every 2 minutes the program will rerun and move the objects to new X/Y/Z locations, including some being removed and some being added.

After the code has completed (a series of 2 minute runs, usually up to 30 in total) have a play-back function to show the objects moving, smoothly if possible, from their locations, etc.

Any help would be great....
