can someone please tell me how to install GD on activeperl for windows. i've installed it with the ppm and i've tried multiple examples of code and can't get anywhere. when in the ppm i've done a query to see if the gd is installed and it is indeed there. this is one of the pieces of code i've tried to use with no sucess! 
use Chart::Plot; 
    my $img = Chart::Plot->new; 
    my @data = qw( 10 11 11 12 12 13 13 14 14 15);
    $img->setData (\@data);
    

    # draw circles around each data point, diameter 15 pixels
    my $gd = $img->getGDobject;
    my $blue = $gd->colorAllocate(0,0,255); # or use $img's blue 
    my ($px,$py); 
    for (my $i=0; $i<$#data; $i+=2) {
      ($px,$py) = $img->data2pxl ($data[$i], $data[$i+1]);
      $gd->arc($px,$py,15,15,0,360,$blue);
    }


    # draw the rest of the chart, and print it 
    open (OUT,">plot.gif"); 
    binmode OUT; 
    print OUT $img->draw(); 
    close OUT;
