in reply to Generating a map using perl

See MapStats. We use GD to generate these maps. As there are only 350 or so maps, they are not produced on the fly for each request.

    Where'd you get the source images (and whatever related positioning data)? I've been wanting to get somthing similar working for network monitoring (we've got several machines all over the country and it'd be a handy indicator to colour a state red or yellow to indicate problems).

      You might want to look at Big Brother, which has a mapping facility built in to its monitoring software.

      The source images were created in house, from TIGER, btw.
