It's easy to make a graph, even without installing a module from CPAN. For example, a bar chart:
print <<END_BAR_CHART;
xx
xx
xx
xx
xx
xx
xx
xx
xx
xx
xx xx
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Column A Column B
Column A: Programmer potential when you can use CPAN modules.
Column B: Programmer potential when you have to code everything
from scratch.
END_BAR_CHART
This graph should be on everyone's mind (ISP providers and sysadmins included) to remember that Perl+CPAN walk hand in hand and one without the other is a sacrilege.
