Mainly Excel-style graphing stuff, to be honest.  But GD::Graph was a
step too far in the ugly direction for what I wanted, so I did it
myself.  (Yes, reinventing the wheel, but graph drawing is not exactly
rocket science.)

web interface (i.e. PNG writing) I don't think it's suitable.  (SVG
would be the right technology to use, but falls down on a lack of
actual web browser implementations.)
