GD and Graphs

Can the GD function for Perl Create dynamic graphs based on information in a SQL Database? If so can somebody point out a script that I can download for this?

I am willing to code my own but have never created a Perl script before and only work with PHP for most of this type of thing. The problem is that the host for the site don't support PHP's GD function but does have Perls GD functions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

On balance, your time and/or money would be better spent either trying to persuade your current host to install GD for PHP, or moving your site to a host that does it. Learning that amount of Perl, even as an experienced PHP programmer, isn't something you can do in a weekend. It's good that you're willing to write your own as you're extremely unlikely to be able to find a script that does exactly what you want.

This is a weird situation as hosts usually have GD for PHP and not for Perl, not the other way around.

If you feel you have to do it in Perl, this book should help, but frankly, you'd be nuts.
