Hi Folks,

I'd like to rewrite a web application I have that has a user entry form and generates some bar graphs.

I used Perl and gnuplot to do this the first time. Managing it was a chore because the jpeg images that gnuplot generated had to be stored on the server. The program had to keep them available and delete them periodically.

I had a few requests to share the app, but these requirements made it hard to provide it to someone else.

One option I'm considering is the GD::Graph module for Perl. It looks like it would do what I need, and wouldn't require managed image files. It would require that GD::Graph is available on the webserver though.

I'm not opposed to using something else like JavaScript or Python instead. I want to minimize setup and administration. The application may wind up on a club webserver operated by hobbyists.

Any recommendations?

Thanks,

Scott C.
