I am using Perl within web pages created at the DBMS site www.baseportal.com. So, when Perl executes, it executes at their site and not mine. As a consequence, I am unable to download and install anything, period.
Not ANYTHING anything, not even your own software? That sounds difficult. Can you bribe anyone else to install software for you? Most sysadmins like pizza and beer. Maybe you can point out to them that perl will be even more useful if they include some of the popular modules from CPAN. If they seem reluctant, buy more beer.
I am creating interesting (for me that is) applications at this site. But I would like to be able to generate a Graph somehow. Does anyone have any general idea how this might be possible?
It's easy to make a graph, even without installing a module from CPAN. For example, a bar chart: print <<END_BAR_CHART; xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Column A Column B Column A: Programmer potential when you can use CPAN modules. Column B: Programmer potential when you have to code everything from scratch. END_BAR_CHART Pie charts are tougher. There may be some Perl-only graphing modules on CPAN. Some might even allow you to use their code in your program. But if you want to make nice looking graph images for web pages, say, the easiest way is probably to find a site that does let you install modules from CPAN -- or, even better, a site that already has installed all of the most useful ones.
