A really great way to make database reports is with the Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module. It creates .xls files that work in Excel (and some other spreadsheets). You can put bitmaps and fancy formatting in the spreadsheet. It does not have commands for drawing graphs.

Database output is often tabular, so a set of linked worksheet tabs can be a great way to present data.

It should work perfectly the first time! - toma

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
