It's just that this NG is a very very unfriendly place. You know..
RTFM... civility is a rare commodity here, as I've lurked I've noticed
this. And while it may be true that there are those who post who
should have done a little more research themselves, it profits little
to berate them.
In the larger context, I find it amusing that there are those who
would spend their time berating rather than ignoring. The berated and
them that would berate seem birds of a feather.
I posted what I did because I wondered if the publisher of those books
had some sort of 'academic' license or something such as that. The
places I found the books online were typically .edu
And I hoped someone could shed light on it for me if that were the
case. Which it seems not to be.
As for my reply to you, I found your post to be rather sarcastic, and
so in keeping with the ungentlemanly posture of this NG, I sought to
answer in kind.
Hopefully this clears up the air.
Henry

Thanks to all who helped me with this problem. I ended up using
Chart::Graph to drive gnuplot to do this. Since that module doesn't know
about some of the new gnuplot features, it's unable to natively do arrows.
I packed the "set arrow" statements into the extra_opts parameter to make
it make the arrows.

This group is for discussing the Perl programming language. It's not
the place to ask for help with installing CGI scripts. Still, this is
a link that might be helpful to you:
http://my.execpc.com/~keithp/bdlogcgi.htm
If you are not able to do it by help of the installation instruction,
ask the script author or the Tripod support.

By posting that, you gave the whole world access to manage your web
site. It may have been unfamiliar to you up to now, but there are
quite a few 'bad guys' out there who get their principal satisfaction
by destroying for others.
