 Anyone got any ideas on how to produce graphs based on a CGI query and 
 dynamically incorporating the graphs into a web page?

1. There's an apache module for doing this, I believe its called
Apache::Chart or Apache::GDGraph or something.

2. If generating a chart from querystring params isn't right for you, you
can do it yourself with one of the perl charting modules and simply send
out the binary data with a Content-Type of image/png. Of course you have
to do it from a img tag, or as a direct URL, but you knew that, right?

An excellent graphing engine is rrdtool, which is written by Tobi Oetiker,
who also wrote MRTG.

http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/

It comes with it's own perl modules as well.

Yes.  Go to www.cpan.org click on search, then type "graph".  many
ideas will come up, including Apache::GDGraph.

I would just like to thank Tobi Oetiker for his excellent work with MRTG: it
has given me (the novice engineer) an unsight into my networks!
