Must I really install the 3 modules plus the libraries b, c, d, and f above just to draw a simple jpg scatter plot? I don't even know how to install a library, just a module. When they say "library" in the README, do they really mean "module"?
Welcome to Dependency Hell. (You know you're in trouble when there is a derogatory nickname for what you're doing.) A library is a collection of binary objects, usually compiled from some high-level language. They are (usually) located in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib .
The same goes for most of the other tantalizing modules I've been reading about and wanting to install... It needs THIS, which needs THIS and THIS, one of which needs THESE... I am so confused.
Did I mention its nickname?
Worse yet, godaddy.com, where i plan to host the site, tells me that they only support the standard Perl modules that come with Perl these days, so I will have to install them locally and keep them in some sort of directory tree, I guess.
If they support only standard Perl modules, chances are they won't support libraries. I suggest that you contact them and tell them you want to create scatter graphs on the fly. They may already have something in place to do it for you. -- Just my 0.00000002 million dollars worth, Shawn "For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them."
