I'd like to thank everyone who helped me with Chart::Clicker. I thought that I should follow up here with another post to summarize things (for the benefit of others).

I had two problems. First, there is a problem with the Chart::Clicker installation on my Linux server. Chart::Clicker has nearly 100 dependencies. I have a very reputable external host in Chicago, and I used the automated installation tools included with my site's CPanel to install my Perl modules. When that failed, I resorted to manual installation (make, make test, make install). We think all of the dependencies are now installed correctly. I should mention that this is a Linux machine running Perl 5.8.8. According to CPAN, Chart::Clicker should run fine on this platform.

However, when I use Chart::Clicker to render a chart on this system, it only works if I *hide* the range axis. The moment I make the range axis visible, I get a blank chart with a single horizontal line (representing the domain axis).

I performed a second installation on my local machine (Mac OSX - 10.6.4 running Perl 5.8.9). I installed Chart::Clicker and it's dependencies using CPAN, CPANP and manually (where CPAN & CPANP failed). It wasn't easy, but I managed to get all of the modules installed. Everything is working great on my Mac.

So at this point in time, I know Chart::Clicker works, but I still don't have it up and running where I need it.

My host is working on the problem with me today, and I have an email in to Chart::Clicker's developer, Cory Watson. I'm hopeful that we will find the problem for two reasons: (1) I've invested significant time in Chart::Clicker so I'd really like to see a return on that investment & (2) it is cool software!

I'll post back with the final results ...

Thanks again Monks! Very helpful as usual!
