in reply to Excel 2003 + Perl
I've not interfaced to them with Perl before, but as they're just COM objects it should be fairly straightforward with Win32::OLE. They're designed to render graphs and excel spreadsheets to a web client so that they don't need any office components installed - maybe this will do what you're after?
If you were on a Unix/Linux OS, I'd recommend the GD::Graph module - I've used it before and it's pretty flexible at generating any sort of graph you like. I don't believe the GD library works on Windows yet though (I could be wrong...).
