Why not use Win32::GUI or Tk? Using these, you can create whatever GUI (dynamically updating of course) that you want. Of the two, I'd probably suggest using Tk, as it is going to be more portable, has been around longer (Win32::GUI is still beta), and is much better documented.

There are various references and examples you can use to get yourself started. (shameless plug approaching) I'd begin by looking at examples, such as (shameless plug imminent) my Perl/Tk Chatterbox Client. You may look into Learning Perl/Tk from O'Reilly and Associates.

Another choice, if you're looking for straight graphing, is the GD module from CPAN. Check its documentation for more information.

Hope that helps,
Shendal

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• 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).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
