Re: creating graphs

A quick cpan search yields Chart::Graph, which has a interface to the mighty Gnuplot. I never used it, but it may be worth a look.

I have used Chart::Graph before, with excellent success. It helps to know gnuplot fairly well first (you can read a good guide). There is a bit of a learning curve. Gnuplot and Chart::Graph are very powerful; as a result, it can sometimes take a bit of study and trial to get exactly what you want. Of course, the upshot is that you can usually get exactly what you want. The Eightfold Path: 'use warnings;', 'use strict;', 'use diagnostics;', perltidy, CGI or CGI::Simple, try the CPAN first, big modules and small scripts, test first.	[reply]
