drawing a tree

[Alythh]

(... hoping this is the right NG!)

I have a lot of structured data - produced by a C program -
representing a LARGE tree.
The tree starts from an ancestor node, each node has 2 children, but 2
nodes at the same level can share a common children, i.e. a node can
have multiple parents.
(so I dont think it is a standard binary tree).

Do you have knowledge of any Perl module that can help me in drawing
this kind of structure? Possibly to some kind of vectorial graphic
output?

Thanks for your help

Look into GraphViz, with its associated perl interface module. (GraphViz
is a command line program)
