If you are you trying to open the Excel document via a browser https://fastapi.metacpan.org/source/JMCNAMARA/Excel-Writer-XLSX-0.98/examples/cgi.pl should work, you don't say how this failed. If you mean you have a server process that runs, creates a file (including the chart), save the file and display only the chart then you need to provide more information, you don't say which OS you are running. If Windows with Excel installed you should be able to automate it via Wi32::OLE using something like Activechart.export "d:\path\goes\here\chart.png". A quick glance at the module you're using and I don't see any methods to export a chart.

Update: Seems along the lines of your last question, nothing there help you to make such graphs?
