Hi, I am having trouble installing perl module GD on my Windows XP system. First, I downloaded the GD module(GD-2.41) from CPAN and tried to run the perl makefile.pl but I got an error.

'gdlib-config' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
**UNRECOVERABLE ERROR**
Could not find gdlib-config in the search path. Please install libgd 2
+.0.28 or h
igher.
If you want to try to compile anyway, please rerun this script with th
+e option -
-ignore_missing_gd.

How do I install gdlib on my windows xp machine? I thought the GD module had it self contained? Also, if I were to get everything installed correctly would it be possible to package my script and these libraries together to make a executable file? Sorry for the newbie questions. Any help would be very much appreciated? Thanks.

Hi, I want to create a simple 2D line plot with perl for the data that I crunch. I am using Windows XP and was wondering if anyone could give me a good perl module to use to do this. Thanks.

• 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).
