That book isn't bad, but it's sorely out of date, especially regarding the
chapter on charting and graphing with GIFGraph, which is deprecated.
GD::Graph is the way to go nowadays.
Martien Verbruggen is supposed to have a new Perl graphics book coming out,
but the publication date seems to keep getting pushed back.

PerlMagick is way overkill for simple charting applications, but if you
need its power, it's there. GD::Graph works for most of my needs though,
however I have to admit that it has some annoying limitations (especially
text/label placement) that forces me to create my own GD drawing routines
to work around.
