DBD::Chart 0.30 is now available from either CPAN or at 
http://home.earthlink.net/~darnold/dbdchart/.

Changes from 0.20:
    - strip newlines from SQL for prepare()
    - add BACKGROUND property to set background color,
        incl. transparent background
    - add FORMAT property to select PNG or JPEG
    - add X-ORIENT property to set X-tick label orientation
    - add LOGO property to set a background image
    - add SIGNATURE property to set a signature string in image
    - add placeholder support in SELECT WHERE clause
    - add KEEPORIGIN property to force (0,0) in the graph
    - auto-skip symbolic X-axis vertical tick labels when they overlap
    - add parameterized chart datasource
        (i.e., SELECT BARCHART FROM ? WHERE...)

FYI: DBD::Chart is a Perl DBI driver abstraction for rendering charts and 
graphs using a variant of SQL. Review the DBD::Chart homepage at 
http://home.earthlink.net/~darnold/dbdchart/ for detailed information.
