SQL::Translator has a good web frontened called sqlt.cgi. You can just paste schema code into a textbox and see a decent diagram. You could automate schema diagrams if your database
has a command for dumping schemas. I'd also recommend checking
out GraphViz::DBI, Class::DBI::Loader::GraphViz though you'd have to define relationships.

All the methods needed to generate an ERD diagram in GD are present in the DBI module. The methods table_info, column_info, primary_key_info, foreign_key_info sound like exactly what you want/need to gather the data neccesary for your ERD diags. I think it would be a really fun module to write.

Alzabo does this already. It will do the reverse engineerings and will produce pictures of the results.

There are also a number of very good third-party tools that will do this. Some only work with specific databases, such as Oracle or SQL*Server. Caveat - few, if any, of these tools are free. Some may be OpenSource, but I'm not sure.

Try schemaball.
It uses the sqlfairy :)
