Forgive the slightly facetious response, but it sounds like a job for a perl *programmer* rather than a perl *module* ;-) Modules exist for taking a 'bunch' of most any data from most any regular format from csv to database query, and perl makes parsing and extracting info from nonstandard formats a relative snip. Modules also exist for handling and manipulating graphics. At the other end, there are modules for placing all of this data into probably any format one wishes it to be presented - html, Excel (yes - even fro *nix), custom gui via Tk, etc. etc. Probably the greatest limitation is the imagination. Should it go without saying that perl can be used for reading data from a number of different sources, extracting subsets and reporting as desired? _P_ractical _E_xtraction and _R_eporting _L_anguage. More seriously, if you are able to be more specific about the input and output requirements of the project, I am sure the group - and a CPAN search - could provide more specific pointers to solutions. -Lynn. _______________________________________________ Perl-Unix-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
