charting org charts in Perl ?

J

Hi,

Not sure whether this can be done. Someone asked me whether I could do
some CGI-Perl to chart organisation charts dynamically. I have a
database of people of which I can change layout, no problem there.
However... was wondering as to which perl package would be suitable for
doing this. I hope something that is installed on most standard perl
installs is available for doing this.
Any packages I should check ?

Thanks

For CGI applications, you want CGI.pm
For database connectivity, you want DBI and the appropriate
DBD::<database> package
For the charts, there are a variety of options. I'd recommend trying
out GD::Graph first.

CGI.pm is standard. The others can be found at http://search.cpan.org

I misread your original objective. Rather than GD::Graph, you may wish
to try either GD::OrgChart or Image::OrgChart. Both available from
CPAN.
