Never tried them, sorry.

Something wacky is going on with search.cpan.org.  The URL it gives
you when you search for the distribution is:

<http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/S/SM/SMORTON/Chart-Plot-0.11.tar.gz>

but what you really need is this (lucky guess on my part):

<http://www.perl.org/CPAN/authors/id/S/SM/SMORTON/Chart-Plot-0.11.tar.gz>

I think the new search interface just came out of beta so they may be
in the process of switching things over.
