I’m new as a Perl programmer, Unix shell guy. I was asked to learn Perl due to a staffing shortage, I was able to create a CGI program that plots BAR and LINESPOINT graphs to an intranet screen. Although I have several nagging problem, my two major ones are: 1) It takes 10 seconds (more for larger analysis) to plot the Graph. I am plotting by assigning an array. 2) I need to find a way to manipulate how my Y-axis is posted. I want to plot my numeric values, but I want to show 23:23 below 00:01. (I plot job-ending times). Any help or leads for research will be appreciated. I’ve already been to www.perl.com Thanks
