Error Help with Plotting a graph using Perl

Dear all,
I have a hash in my data file and I'd like to output the data contained within as a graph (can be lines or histogram form) but I dont know how to do this with Perl.
Can somone suggest how I can have a graph with Keys of the hash being on the X-axis and the Values for the keys plotted on the Y axis.
Is this kind of stuff possible with Perl ?? I could easily do this with Excel or something like that but if there was a way to do this in Perl code I would really appreciate your input in helping me learn this.
Cheers and have a nice day.
Smilie

There are lots of charting/graphing modules for Perl. A popular module is GD::Graph
