Why can't the "src=" attribute refer to a CGI and let the visitor's browser 
contact that URI when it receives the page content from your C::A application? 
To the browser it doesn't care. It's just a URI it is told to contact for the 
image content.

Why would the graph-producing application have to be a C::A app, or wedged into 
your existing C::A app as another runmode? Isn't this a good candidate for a 
standalone CGI? It's not producing HTML. Just image content. The only thing 
that might make it a little more complex than serving image content is if it's 
semi-realtime (images change every 15 minutes) and you want the image-producing 
CGI to detect whether it should emit the last image generated, or generate a 
new one and emit it.
