I'm going to write a module for creating financial charts from Perl, like the ones you might have seen at Yahoo Finance. I know some Gd-fu, but last time I have used Gd around 4 years ago, so there's a question: maybe now, in year 2008, there are some modern alternatives to Gd? (particularly I'd appreciate logical coordinate space / vector rescaling). Or Gd is still as good as sliced bread, and there is no point in all this TMTOWTDI-ness?
Moreover, probably someone has already written a financial charting package in Perl, put it on CPAN, and I just haven't heard of it?

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).

are good places to start.
