dani_cv_74 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello All, I have figured out exactly what my need is and I have decided to go ahead with the Chart package - Stacked Bar. But, I couldn't find this in the ppm. Do I need to install this package? If yes, which package should I use? Or can I simply copy the base.pm and the stackedbar.pm files, to work with this? If yes, what are the correct files which should I download? Also, the codumentation says that this needs GD.pm, Chart uses Lincoln Stein's GD module which also I couldn't find in ppm. Can any one throw some light on this please? Can any one please help me in this? Thanks and Best Regards, Dani.

    dani_cv_74,

    Chart::StackedBars is included in Chart::Base which can be added via ppm like so:

    C:\> ppm install http://landfill.bugzilla.org/ppm/Chart.ppd

    GD from:

    C:\> ppm install http://landfill.bugzilla.org/ppm/GD.ppd

    I don't have access to ppm at the moment but it sounds like you either have network connectivity issues, or you are not using it to search properly. Read holli's node A guide to installing modules for Win32 for (almost) all of your Win32 module needs :)
    If you have not checked it out already have a look at PPM::Repositories.

    Hope this helps.

      Thanks Martin... Dan.
