I couldn't get the requisites for the gd.pm and related modules to work on
Windows.  Although these things apparently have worked great for years on
UNIX, they may have problems on Windows 2000 servers.  I had to go to a
purchased Java product that is accessible via a servlet to get graphs
generated.

For clarification, and to encourage others to at least try GD and or
Image::Magick under Windoze, BOTH packages work as advertised with that
operating system.  I have both running quite happily on my development
machine (Windows 2000).  I did encounter some problems installing both, but
these disappeared when I used the PPM's (ActiveState / TheoryX5) as opposed
to trying to compile manually.

You must understand that both packages are complex, you need patience and
persistence - but it's worth it in the end.
