tree drawing toolkit

[Peter Hickman]

I have lots of data in the form of

root is note A
node A links to node B
node B links to node C
node B links to node D
node D links to node E

This is a straight forward tree, no loops and (hopefully) no cross links.

Is there any module that could take this data and produce an image from it?

The trouble is that graph seems to translate to pie chart etc in CPAN.

The GraphViz module gives you access to GraphViz

http://www.graphviz.org/

from Perl. That should make short work of it.

I hope this helps,

Tim

Thanks that looks like just the thing I need, and a bit more.
