Hi,
This might not be the correct group I should be asking
but for sure lots of perl programmers already tried to do this...
Any ideas how can I create graphic chart (like one that
can be created from excel) from coma (,) separated .dat file?
Thanks.

Two of the most popular methods of producing graphs using Perl that I
have seen are 1) using the GD::Graph module and 2) writing the plot
data to a file and using the gnuplot program (you can command gnuplot
using a file or a pipe). I use this second method extensively and it
works great. There is a version of gnuplot available for most
platforms. See
I found out that php can do dynamic plotting. I think I'll go with this
since graphics can be easily seen in web browsers.
