Whoops!

1) Sorry... I meant to post that to message to Perl Mongers, not to 
OLUG.
2) I meant GD::Graph and mod_perl as two different (Perly) subjects. 
They're not related (at least not how I'm using them).

Anyhoo, I am not aware of any GD::Graph and MRTG interaction. MRTG uses 
RRD (Round Robin Database) format for data storage so it can 
additionally summarize the weekly, monthly, annual graphs.

That graph I produced as a stand-alone gizmo. I was needing a 
perl-minute level of detail, and don't need long-term re-summaries, so 
didn't involve MRTG in that project. I believe MRTG uses the GD 
libraries, but I don't think it uses Perl nowadays.

I'd be happy to post my graph source code on Perl Mongers if anyone 
wants it...
