This, via URI::GoogleChart, can make things dead simple, e.g.:

  use URI::GoogleChart;
  my $chart_uri = URI::GoogleChart->new("lines", 300, 100,
     data => [45, 80, 55, 68],
  );
  print qq[<img src="$chart_uri" ... />];

Flot (http://code.google.com/p/flot/) is a quite nice Javascript solution, if 
you're happy to shove data to the client and let it handle rendering the 
graph.

For graphs actually generated on the server as an image and sent to the 
client, I've used GD::Graph in the past, and it's done the trick.
