Ok, so this is not strictly %100 Perl news, but I just stumbled across Open Flash Chart, and I am sure others may be interested to take a look at it. As you may have already guessed, it is an open source Flash charting object, with examples of its backend provided in Perl, as well as various other languages.

However, the author notes:

"The Perl, Ruby and Python classes are one step behind the PHP class. They may not contain all the very latest updates. Sorry!

This is because I don't have Perl, Ruby or Python on my home PC so I can't keep them up to date, I rely on YOUR help. Fix bugs! Send me your improved code! And I'll post links to you and your site and you will be loved forever!"

So if you are interested in this sort of thing, feel free to check it out. Contributions to improvements seem welcome.

Enjoy

Martin

• 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.
