Chart::Clicker various gnuplot frontends SVG::Template::Graph SVG::TT::Graph Chart::GRACE "best" really depends on your use case, but those are worth investigating. Perl 6 - second systems done right	[reply]

I personally like GD::Graph, but take a look at the more recent State of the Ch(art) in Perl for other peoples experiences `print "Good ",qw(night morning afternoon evening)[(localtime)[2]/6]," fellow monks."`	[reply] [d/l]

I use GraphViz for directed graphs for all other graphs, I have gotten excellent results producing a customer perl script for gnuplot. There are so many variations for this program, just take a look at the samples There are some modules such as Chart::Gnuplot that may also work, but I have not tested them.	[reply]

If you are not afraid of Javascript, then perhaps it's worth mentioning that YUI-3-3-0 was released yesterday and includes a Charts module that look pretty good (examples here). -- No matter how great and destructive your problems may seem now, remember, you've probably only seen the tip of them.

I think that GD is the best module for graphs. If you really want more "flexibilties", then post an example of your small problem. Simple errors can cause small problems that can escalate into major headaches later:).	[reply]

Would like to know what are the best modules available for creating graphs. All the modules available, naturally, those modules which aren't available are absolutely not the best :)	[reply]
