Hi Richard, You might see if plotchart, a pure Tcl package, might work for you:
http://wiki.tcl.tk/18167 Data could be passed from Perl as Tcl lists and Perl arrays auto-convert. Barcharts are generally simple enough that the core Tk canvas handles them well, it just needs a simple library (e.g. plotchart) to do the drawing.
