in reply to Chart drawing: GDGraph or Chart?

Chart uses GD to do the drawing, as does GD::Graph. Personally, I have used GD::Graph with very good results. I even wrote Graph::Template to work with HTML::Template data structures and wrap over GD::Graph.

Personally, I would work with Template Toolkit and the graphing plugin that comes with the main distribution. A coworker of mine got it up and running in under an hour, never having used TT before. The examples, apparently, are very helpful. :-)

I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested
