A quick search of CPAN turns up some options. I have personally had
success with GD::Graph. Don't know that it is as powerful (read: makes
things as pretty) as the one you mention. 

A package that quite possibly is as pretty (I have only done a
cursory comparison) is GD::Graph, at 
http://search.cpan.org/~rdp/GD-Chart-0.05/.  It rocks.

GD::Graph is more or less the standard graph generating module for Perl, 
but it isn't the only or even necessarily the best option. See here:

http://use.perl.org/~davorg/journal/20979

This page suggests SVG::TT::Graph, Imager, and Spreadsheet::WriteExcel. 

The note about SVG::TT::Graph may be biased, as Dave Cross is a 
co-author of O'Reilly's TT book. Still, it seems worth a look: 
http://search.cpan.org/dist/SVG-TT-Graph/lib/SVG/TT/Graph.pm

Imager was also suggested, but I don't know much about it, aside from 
this page: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Imager/Imager.pm

The Excel suggestion was interesting, provided that you have Excel to 
work with. http://use.perl.org/~jmcnamara/journal/20494 I can't seem 
to get at the sample image right now though...

Wait, so you're saying GD::Graph is as pretty as GD::Graph?

I don't believe you!

Sigh, too early in the morning.

I got the URL right.  The name of the package is GD::Chart.

A quick search of CPAN turns up some options. I have personally had
success with GD::Graph. Don't know that it is as powerful (read: makes
things as pretty) as the one you mention. Though since they both use GD
presumably everything accomplishable with jpgraph can be done by Perl
and possibly GD::Graph.

Starting here my make some sense:

I would be *very* interested to find out what you decide on, and a brief 
description of your reasoning.
I'm a jpgraph user, and I'm migrating our Access database to gtk2-perl. 
Pretty soon I'm going to need a graphing solution as well...
