Well, you could always use an external program like gnuplot
to generate the graph for you. That would still require that
you understand how to use the program, though.

And don't be afraid to use Perl modules. Many important modules
are already part of your Perl distribution, so you would not
have to install them manually, anyways. As for the rest, I'm sure
people here will be able to give you some pointers if you
provide some details like OS and distribution used, and so on.

HTH,
Thomas
